Opening Doors Forum: Careers Education

This is an online event.

Audience

Open to both members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). This event would be of interest to employers seeking to improve their outreach and careers education support to young people and has been designed for Opening Doors employers.

Background

Employer standards in careers education are crucial in bridging the gap between academic preparation and industry expectations. Encounters with the world of work have been found to boost future employment outcomes for young people. With nearly 900,000 young people becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training)*, quality employer interventions in careers education have never been more needed to support young people in their next step.

About the event

Join the next Opening Doors webinar, which will focus on how employers can improve their approach to opening doors to young people through quality careers education. Following the publication of the Careers & Enterprise Company’s insights report on their Employer Standards Tool, you will be hear from employers who are developing their approach in working with schools and young people:

• Key insights on the careers education landscape.
• Learn from leading businesses on how they are supporting young people.
• Exchange ideas with your peers on how to remove barriers young people experience in recruitment.

Speaker

Hollie Crompton, Social Mobility Lead from PwC
