Enterprise Adviser Opportunity to Raise Your Business’s Profile
A great way to raise the profile of your business is to become an Enterprise Adviser to a school or college in your local area.
An Enterprise Adviser is a link between a business volunteer and a local school or college to help prepare young people for employment. It is a highly rewarding role that benefits your business through raising its profile, creating social value and even developing a talent pipeline for future recruitment. Young people gain your insight into business and the world of work, as well as a better understanding of alternatives to academia.
The only commitment the business makes is to give 1-2 hours a month for an academic year. This can be virtual or in person, whatever works best for you. Supported by Local London Careers Hub East, you would work with your school or college to ensure that the careers programme includes a rigorous vocational focus. Examples include raising awareness of your business sector, carrying out mock interviews, supporting CV workshops, or arranging for students to visit your work premises to gain first-hand experience of a workplace.
