Through this national initiative we are working to link every mainstream secondary school and college in the Solent with a volunteer from the world of work.
The ‘Enterprise Adviser’ engages strategically with the Careers Leader, supporting them to ensure the school/college community have access to meaningful employer encounters and experiences.
Bringing their knowledge and experience from the world of work, these volunteers can offer real value to the education institution that they are linked with.
Role of an Enterprise Adviser
“I’m honoured to be part of this ground-breaking project that will help raise the aspirations of young people. As employers we expect a lot from our young people so it’s only right we support them before they enter the world of work. I admire the dedication of the teachers at the school – they are committed to giving every child the best start in life so I’m delighted to be their Enterprise Adviser.” LEON MEAD Enterprise Adviser
