Employers in Education
The local, regional and national business community consistently comment that students do not have the necessary transferable skills and experiences suited to their workforce needs. Similarly, many employers, across sectors and the UK, struggle to fill vacancies and identify suitable young talent.
In response, to support local employers, the Bury Business Leadership Group has created the Employers in Education activity. This activity, which brokers opportunities for businesses to engage local high school students, aims to raise the profile of growth and underrepresented sectors struggling to recruit and retain young talent.
Employers are invited to get involved, by completing the online form. Further information about the Employers in Education activity can be viewed within the accompanying file.
