About this event

Business • Career

Join us at Hollingworth Academy for a breakfast session that will explore how business and education can work more collaboratively together to positively impact the future workforce.

Small effort yields big results, so whether you're able to spare 30 minutes twice a year or willing to provide a week of work experience - you and your business can have a huge effect on a young person.

When businesses build relationships with schools - everyone benefits. Evidence shows that when schools can effectively engage with employers it has a transformative effect on the employment outcomes of young people. These encounters bring the world of work to life, develop skills, and encourage young people to take control of their futures.

Employees working with schools benefit, too. You'll develop new skills which could help further your own career progression, plus employer-supported volunteering often leads to increased brand loyalty and employee engagement too.

The full agenda is shown above but you'll hear from the school on how they'd like to work with business, from a company that already engages with local schools, and from pupils who've benefitted from an experience with an employer and the impact it's had.

Come along to find out more - we'd really like to meet you!
