Coast to Capital Careers Hub works with special schools and colleges in the city to provide impactful careers education for young people with SEND. We are currently in search of business volunteers to join us in this endeavour. This presents a fantastic opportunity to volunteer for an hour every month, working closely with the Senior Leadership Team in these provisions to assist them in creating pathways for their students either virtually or in person.
Giving pupils exposure to employers and workplaces allows them to meet role models and build aspirations and inspiration around future pathways, jobs and opportunities. For young people, engaging with employers and experiencing workplaces is key, never underestimate the positive influence you can have on young people.
This work relies on a network of business volunteers, by partnering with a local secondary school or college, you can use your skills, business experience and networks to help them develop a strong careers programme that supports all students.
