Welcome to Leicestershire Education Business Company

Introduction

Leicestershire Education Business Company (LEBC) inspires and motivates young people by developing partnerships between schools, business and the wider community.

LEBC has charity status and offers a range of activities which give a focus to young people about work, through work and for work, by linking schools and colleges with the support of volunteers from the world of business and the wider community.  This supports young people preparing for the exciting challenges ahead in their working life.

Young people's learning is enriched by contact with people from outside the classroom.  They bring a fresh approach to learning and demonstrate the relevance of personal and practical skills required in the world of work.  By offering employees an opportunity to volunteer, businesses have a chance to show they care both about the local community and their staff. 

Volunteering

Volunteering in education is a rewarding experience for a business and provides opportunities for interaction with the future workforce as well as an opportunity to develop an existing workforce.   Allowing company employees to interact with one another out of their working environment encourages a more positive working relationship.  Contributing to your local community raises the morale of staff and gives companies an ideal opportunity to raise their local profile.  LEBC works in conjunction with a company to identify the programmes or activities most suited to its resources.  The time comitment can vary from one day in the year to one hour a week.   For further information about volunteering please view the Volunteering/Business page.

Some of our programmes also offer volunteering opportunities for individuals from the community who are not based within a company.  Volunteers from the community may have a variety of personal reasons to volunteer such as wishing to enhance their skills, want to give something back to the community or may be a student on a course.  For further information about volunteering please view the Volunteering/Community page.

Schools

Schools and Colleges may be offered a set of programmes or LEBC can also work in conjunction with schools and colleges to design bespoke programmes to suit specific needs.  We are happy to discuss these in more detail.
