Collaboration for Success – Employer Session
Suitable for: Employers of all sizes, Cornerstone Employers, Enterprise Advisors, Give an Hour Volunteers, Stars of Creating Careers, STEM Ambassadors (Anyone who would like to support programmes that inspire our young people in the Liverpool City Region)
The Liverpool City Region Careers Hub sits at the heart of Careers Education in the Liverpool City Region and we need your help.
As 2021 begins, we are running two informative sessions to highlight how you can get involved:
28th January 11am & 3rd February 3pm
Join us to find out how you can inspire young people to join your industry and how your business can get up-to-date information to school leavers amongst the challenges that 2020 has brought.
Young people who are transitioning from the post 16 and post 18 education settings have not been able to attend the usual careers fairs and expos and we can guide you through the other routes you can take to get information about careers to them. Our young people in general (even the youngest ones) might have a dream to become part of your industry – but we need to show them what they need to do to reach that career destination.
We can highlight the quick wins, the things you are already doing that can be shared with our schools as well as advise you on how to build in more opportunities to showcase through our networks. Now is the time to bring business and education together in innovative ways in order to support each other’s needs and benefit our region. Together we can build back better.
