Investing in future generations

 We are dedicated to supporting the thousands of young people in our area. As a Enterprise Advisor we invest time and resources to benefit schools and young people and act as an ambassador and champion for social mobility.

In our role as Enterprise Adviser with the Career and Enterprise Company we work closely with the headteacher and Senior Leadership Team of our local secondary school to provide strategic support and an employers viewpoint in relation to their careers education. We use our business experience and professional networks to help develop and implement an effective strategy that puts opportunities with local employers at the heart of a young person’s education.

Regular, meaningful encounters with employers is an absolutely vital part of preparing and inspiring young people for the world of work. We know that this kind of support means young people are less likely to be not in education, employment or training when they leave school.
