Celebrating Careers Inspiration

The Somerset Education Business Partnership in association with Barclays, is delighted to announce the winners of its 2023 annual Awards.

At last week’s ceremony (Thursday 6 July 2023) held at the Taunton Rugby Club, over one hundred guests from schools, businesses, and education providers from across Somerset, were celebrated for their shared passion, careers inspiration and dedication in helping young people to excel.

The mission of the Somerset EBP is to connect employers with education and training providers so that young people are aware of local career opportunities and develop the skills needed to be successful at work, and in doing so, helping residents and businesses in Somerset to thrive.

Nick Porter, Barclays Business Banking Regional Manager, who opened the Awards ceremony, said: “I want to pass on my congratulations to all the finalists.  Their hard work, time and effort invested has created an unquestionable talent of young people, some of which we have the privilege of meeting this evening. I would encourage everyone to continue working towards these successful outcomes which hugely benefits Somerset’s young people, employers and the local economy.”

Andrew Hanson, Somerset Education Business Partnership Manager added: “Somerset’s businesses, education providers and young people are working incredibly hard to develop the skills our county needs. These awards celebrate their efforts, and we are grateful to Barclays and all our individual award sponsors for their invaluable support.”

The night belonged to the winners of the ten award categories which showcased the contributions of individuals and organisations helping to develop Somerset’s future pipeline of talent.
