Business Engagement

Research shows that experiences with employers can help to prepare young people for their futures. There are many ways businesses can inspire young people by connecting them via work experiences and workplace opportunities.  Employers play an important role when it comes to providing real-life experiences for young people to learn more about the world of work. As a business you could:

  • Promote existing work experience opportunities for young people through Mrs Thompson
  • You could volunteer your time in a way that suits you to make a huge impact on young people in your area
