There are a number of ways for businesses to work with schools – for example through activities such as providing work experience, mentoring/e-mentoring, careers events or being a reading partner for a pupil.

While the support from businesses is much valued in schools, there are also benefits involved for the business itself. Not only does working with schools engage the company in its local community, but it also helps develop staff skills in areas such as communication. Being a business volunteer can also increase staff morale as employees often enjoy interacting and working with pupils.

For employers who would like more information on how to get involved, please contact us or our partners in your area.
