Educational Business Links

The Education Business Plus team at Connexions Cheshire & Warrington aims to develop and enhance partnerships which make vital links between the workplace and local schools and colleges.

Businesses and education both gain from working together – young people benefit from an increased understanding of what will be required of them in the workplace and employees can benefit from development of their personal and interpersonal skills. Additionally, a business can enhance its reputation by supporting the local community. Listed here are just some of the ways where co-operation between the two can be most effective:-

• Host a visit to your business by a teacher
  
• Act as a mentor to a young person
  
• Provide a young person with a work experience opportunity
  
• Set students a real business problem for which you need a solution
  
• Help a young person develop their reading skills
