Investing in the workforce of tomorrow
Glide, an expert in in utilities, broadband and connectivity is working in partnership with the Unite Foundation, a charity that delivers a specialised accommodation scholarship scheme for care leavers and estranged young people at university. We spoke with Rhys Thomas, Customer Experience Director, Glide to find out more.
Tis is what Rhys Tomas had to say.
Please can you tell us more about Glide’s partnership with Unite Foundation and the benefits this offers? Glide has been working with the Unite Foundation since 2015, and we’ve done a range of projects with the charity over the years. In the past we’ve provided financial support, but more recently, Glide has taken on summer placements for the Unite Foundation, providing work experience in a variety of roles across the company. We’ve placed students in sales, service,
operations, legal and even HR. We have also provided work experience to foundation scholars, and in return have had the pleasure of working with some very bright, passionate and committed

individuals. Each of them has added great value to the company over the summer, all while being able to develop an understanding of the professional world, and nurture skills that they can take forward with them in their future careers. Tis year, we provided 27 Dell laptops that
were given as prizes to students who are being supported by the Unite Foundation. Tese students are being encouraged to create their own community and feel better connected to other estranged care students across the UK. Glide’s partnership with the Unite Foundation is something that we are really proud of. Te charity is doing some amazing work and it’s great to be able to support that in any way we can.”
Why was this set up? To put it simply, we partnered with the Unite Foundation to support a wonderful charity that provides opportunities by delivering a unique accommodation scholarship scheme for care leavers and estranged young people at university. Over the past seven years, we have been able to
work really closely with the team at the foundation. We’ve developed a really strong relationship with Helen Arber, Head of Operations at Unite Foundation, and Glide has always had an Executive Sponsor of the relationship with the charity. Currently, Our Chief Commercial Officer, Meri Braziel, is holding down that role.
