We know employers are looking for recruits who have skills and qualifications relevant to their business - and who are ready for the world of work.

We can help you to build strong partnerships with schools, colleges and training providers in your locality – supporting you to develop a talent pipeline for your business. Other benefits include:

  • Personal development for your current staff
  • A positive company image in the local community
  • Insight into the skills and attitudes of your future workforce

There are many ways you can get involved as a business or individual. Opportunities include:

  • Giving assembly talks
  • Attending careers and apprenticeship fairs
  • Offering work experience placements
  • Becoming a mentor
  • Helping with employability skills  (e.g. assessing students’ CVs and interview skills)
  • Sponsoring a work-related learning programme
