Opportunities For Education Partners

The government’s Careers Strategy highlights the importance of employers’ involvement in careers programmes, and how their taking part in well-planned activities with young people is vital to “support individuals to grow and develop.” Under this strategy, schools and colleges are compelled to provide their students with at least one encounter with an employer each year.

Our education partners are achieving this with our help.

We are currently working with 5 schools in your area. Contact us to see how we can help you create a positive impact as well as delivering your ESG Strategy

The Good Careers Guidance Report defines the key features of a successful careers programme (known as the Gatsby benchmarks) and the government’s Careers Strategy requires all schools to implement these benchmarks. Our programmes can help you do it.

Activities vary according to local need and target group, and with investment from large employers and public funders we are able to offer additional funded activities to our school, college or university partners to bring even more value for money.

In 2017, an independent evaluation confirmed that our programmes offer a highly effective and scalable service that ensures tangible and lasting impact and exceptional value for money.
