The Crossroads Project trains people in real workshop settings inside the prison estate, then connects them to employers ready to hire. We handle the complexity. You gain committed talent.
The Crossroads Project gives employers a supported route to a talent pool most businesses never reach: people trained to industry standard in active workshops within the prison estate, ready to step into skilled work.
We do the heavy lifting — sourcing and quality-assuring the training, brokering the match, and navigating the justice system — so that taking on an apprentice is straightforward and fully supported.
The Crossroads Project is delivered by Limitless Learning Group CIC, a Community Interest Company. We exist to create social value — any surplus is reinvested into reaching more people and creating more routes into work.
When you hire with us, you partner with an organisation whose only bottom line is impact.
Learn moreOur apprentices arrive trained, accredited and motivated, having earned their qualifications in real working environments. You get capable people who want to prove themselves.
Through our covenant model we broker the whole relationship — matching the right apprentice to your business and staying involved to make the placement stick. One point of contact, end to end.
Employing through the prison estate can feel daunting. We manage the requirements, the logistics and the quality of delivery on your behalf, so you can focus on the hire — not the process.
Employment is one of the strongest factors in reducing reoffending — and one of the smartest ways to access loyal, capable talent in a tight labour market. Crossroads connects the two. By backing our apprentices, you fill real roles with motivated people while playing a direct part in breaking the cycle of reoffending.
