Prepare your students for the world of work. We have a wide range of events available for Primary, Secondary, FE and SEND schools.
We believe “if you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”
That’s why our school events across Leicester and Leicestershire feature business representatives from our database of local businesses, which cover a broad spectrum of sectors.
Designed to raise young people’s aspirations, activities such as Mock Interviews, Employability Days, and World of Work visits will give your students an understanding of future career paths and the transition from education to the workplace.
We also link curriculum learning to careers and create meaningful encounters with employers and employees, so that each event clearly evidences the Gatsby Benchmarks.
