Business Ambassadors
OEBP has led a series of consultation events which indicated an undeniable need for a more effective and co-ordinated approach to employer involvement with the world of education.
What is involved in being a Business Ambassador?
Involvement can be as frequent and varied as you wish. Your job or business is the priority and the scheme is flexible - all you need is commitment and enthusiasm.
Types of involvement include:
- Events and business simulations designed to raise students' awareness of the world of work, employability and enterprising skills
- Awareness raising activities for different career and opportunities and skill/qualification requirements
- Projects and briefs to assist young people in applying for jobs and developing successful interview skills
- Teacher development
- Working with young people who are disengaged from the education system
The benefits to your organisation:
- The opportunity to contribute to the local community and your Corporate Social Responsibility agenda
- The chance for your employees to gain new skills including leadership, communication and presentation skills
- Access to your future workforce
- An insight into the youth market and educational developments
- Stronger local corporate and individual relationships with education providers
- Publicity through OEBP promotional activity
- The chance to get out of the workplace and have some fun!
