Red Cannon Launchpad
A smarter route from entry-level talent to long-term employment.
Launchpad helps businesses explore funded internships, supported employment opportunities and other entry routes where available. We help employers understand what support they need, identify relevant funding or programmes, design the opportunity and recruit suitable candidates.
Every pathway is different. Funding, eligibility and programme availability depend on the employer, candidate and schemes available at the time.
