Connecting Education and Business

We know schools are keen to provide career enrichment opportunities for their students, both primary and secondary, so we will support schools by connecting with local and national employers, industry figures, and inspirational speakers to continue to inspire them and provide guidance and advice for their journeys.

For Careers Leads, we will use our already successful Careers and Skills Group to further connect with businesses and provide additional networking opportunities to help bring education and business closer together, providing that clear path from education to the world of work.

Careers Fairs

We know how important it is for young people to have access to and be inspired to start thinking about their journey into the world of work. That’s why we will be hosting our Primary and Secondary Careers and Skills Fair, which will be jam-packed with employers, organisations, industry leads, FE Colleges, HE universities and apprenticeship providers to help young people choose their path.

The Primary fair also has a transition element to support year six pupils with the move to Secondary school.

Employability Programmes & Careers Support

Working with our employer partners and careers organisations, we are able to offer a suite of employability, enterprise, careers, and skills opportunities for our young people to get involved with, be inspired by, and gain valuable skills that they can then use in school and beyond.

Building on our careers and skills fairs, which put employers in front of young people, we will also support the connections between education and business through networking at a careers lead level and through careers talks and visits for students.

Our Careers offer will support our member schools with their own careers activities, ensuring that we can utilise our connections to best support you.
