All school age pupils are eligible to take part

Timescales

Activities normally take place in school term time – in other words not summer, Christmas or Easter.

Commitments

Employers can determine the extent to which they get involved.

Activities might include taking part in mock job interviews that take little time, to allowing site visits to business premises, offering placements to teachers, right through to the significant commitment of becoming a school governor.

Costs

There is no financial cost to the employer. The only cost is in time and effort.

Progression Routes

It is hoped that the experiences that young people acquire through Education Business Partnership activities will better prepare them for work by emphasising the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours that are associated with success in the workplace. For employers it might be hoped that school leavers will be more ready for the world of work and that the employer may find ready-made recruits from these activities.
