Our asks of business
At our Emergency Community Summit in February we will be calling on business to:
partner with a school, by signing up to our flagship education programme Business Class, and guarantee work placements for young people, though our apprenticeships and work experience programmes
Our goal is for every young person, particularly those facing social disadvantage, to receive support from business to build successful working lives.
Watch the video above on Business Class, which builds effective, sustainable partnerships between schools and
businesses to help young people develop the skills, aspirations and motivation they need to succeed in the world of work.
What we're working on...
-
Business Class, our flagship education programme, focuses on long-term sustainable partnerships between business and schools. The programme has been independently evaluated by Cass Business School to demonstrate impact.
