Education Meets Industry Event

Description

Do you want more young people to understand the exciting and rewarding career opportunities your business or sector can offer?

Education Meets Industry is a dedicated networking event that brings together local employers and careers leaders and education professionals from state high schools across the county. This is an opportunity to build relationships, share insights, and explore how businesses and schools can work together to inspire the next generation and better prepare young people for the world of work.

Topics for discussion include:
• Health & Safety and insurance considerations
• Improving awareness of different industries and career pathways
• Creating meaningful employer engagement opportunities
• Building effective partnerships between schools and businesses

Why does it matter?

• Employers need schools to help develop future talent and help guide the next generation in their career choices.
• Schools need employers to provide valuable workplace insight and real-world experiences that support students in making informed career choices and prepare them for the world of work.

Join us to exchange ideas, ask questions, and discover practical ways to connect with local secondary schools.

Please note: This event is exclusively for employers and representatives from state-funded secondary schools, including academies, voluntary aided schools, voluntary controlled schools and secondary-age SEND schools. It is not open to colleges, sixth-form colleges, universities, independent schools or independent training providers. Bookings that do not meet these criteria will be removed.
