Why should business get involved
Business has much to gain from supporting ‘Education for Enterprise’. With close business support, students can develop a better understanding of the world of work, and of the career opportunities open to them. You can gain opportunities to engage with your potential future workforce and customers. For example, you could have the potential to directly shape the future pool of employees and leaders in your community by:
- having greater input into the school’s curriculum
- giving young people access to accurate and up-to-date careers information
- helping students understand what sorts of skills, knowledge, and attitudes they need develop for work.
Your business can help improve the self-esteem, self-confidence, and employability of the young people in your community. And you can generate positive public relations with your customers. The opportunities for impact are endless and continue to develop as your relationship with the local school gains momentum. E4E will not only help to develop the skills required for the businessmen and women of tomorrow, it will also help your business to enjoy the benefits today.
