Also in 2023, PA launched a new Digital Apprenticeship programme and a suite of AI Academy courses, to develop the skills, knowledge, and behaviours that support its people's career development.

Support for local communities

PA people, and The PA Foundation, share a goal to develop and inspire people, particularly those facing disadvantage, to be the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Over the past year, PA volunteers have continued to grow and support their local communities.

In the UK, PA volunteers helped support immigrants and refugees to gain employment, coached ex-prison offenders to help prepare them for future interviews, and even went back to school – getting involved with education initiatives that help break down limiting beliefs among disadvantaged students to inspire the young leaders of the future.  

In the US, The PA Foundation worked with Upwardly global, providing mentoring to help eliminate employment barriers for immigrant and refugee professionals and advance the inclusion of their skills into the US economy. The PA Foundation also worked in the US with the Point Foundation, supporting LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential. In Denmark, The PA Foundation worked with Laer for Livet to strengthen the educational competencies of vulnerable children through supportive learning, enabling them to complete an upper secondary education.

Through the fantastic work of PA people, who volunteered over 21,000 hours of their time and expertise to support its charity partners in the last year, PA has amplified the work of The PA Foundation, which distributed £2 million in funding across the UK, US, Nordics, and Netherlands.

PA's support of its local communities was recognised by the prestigious British Diversity Awards, which announced PA as winner of its Social Mobility Initiative of the Year in 2024. PA was also a silver award winner at the 2023 UK Social Mobility Awards.
