Finding a partner from the world of employment
Your school may well have a business link in place. If that's
the case, why not find out if that organisation would like to offer
volunteer Number Partners? You could also talk to the member of
staff responsible for work related learning. There are bound to be
lots of local companies and organisations who might be interested
in establishing a partnership of this kind with your school.
Consult your headteacher, senior management team, governors and
parents who might be able to make suggestions and approach suitable
organisations in the area.
If you're not successful in finding a partner yourselves, a
local business link organisation, such as many EBP (Education
Business Partnership) members of the Institute of Education Business Excellence,
might be able to help match up your school with an employer in the
area. There is also useful information on the Teacher's
guide to employer engagement website.
