What's changing and why? There has been a growing awareness over the past few years of the impact and benefit employers can have when involved with education. This has been very much as a result of pressure from the business community and has focused particularly on employer concerns about levels of skills being demonstrated by young people. These are often called “soft” or “key” skills and are mainly:
Over the past few years these have been supplemented by a drive to increase young people’s enterprise skills:
All schools now have a statutory requirement to provide all students aged 14-16 with “work related learning”. This has been a major breakthrough for employers who have campaigned for some time to ensure young people are better prepared for future employment, whether they are joining the workforce at 16, 18 or post-graduate. The benefit to business, of course, is in seeing the investment they make with schools be translated into an improved job market in years to come. An additional benefit is the role that such work plays in meeting companies’ CSR targets.

“Wednesday was such a great day for our Year 10 pupils and that’s all thanks to you and all you did for them to make sure that they had an exciting and challenging day. The day created quite a buzz and all the pupils I’ve spoken to have said how much they enjoyed it and how much they gained from it. Can’t thank you enough. Needless to say, we’re looking forward to our next event very much indeed”. |
