Heart of the South West announce Cornerstone Employers project
24th February 2020
The Heart of the South West's Careers Hub are working with 11 companies across Devon, Plymouth, Somerset and the Torbay, to help ensure that all young people in the region have the opportunity to prepare for and feel inspired by the world of work.
Working collaboratively, Cornerstone Employers provide schools and colleges with access to employers so that young people and teaching professionals:
- Have current knowledge and experiences of the workplace
- Are able to support the development of resources to demonstrate how teaching and learning in school/college relates to future employment
- Can share information about the range of training and employment opportunities within key sectors.
By understanding the world of work, young people, and all those that support them, are able to make informed decisions about educational choices and future career pathways. Through raising aspirations and supporting young people to realise their full potential, Cornerstone support the development of a workforce talent pipeline that can deliver the organisational aims and growth ambitions of South West public and private sector organisations.
