WE ARE A CORNERSTONE EMPLOYER
Regular, meaningful encounters with employers is an absolutely vital part of preparing and inspiring young people for the world of work. Without this kind of support young people are more likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET) when they leave school.
Becoming a Cornerstone Employer means the DLWP is committing to working together with our networks, the wider business community and schools and colleges to make this happen in Bexhill. A Cornerstone Employer is a business that is invested in the successful and sustainable delivery of careers education for young people and commits to join a leadership group of local businesses to support the schools, colleges and young people in their area. Cornerstone Employers work together with their networks and the wider business community to ensure all young people have the opportunities they need to be prepared and inspired for the world of work.
Cornerstone Employers may be large or small businesses, at local or national level, but it is important that they are:
- Experienced in engaging with education and so can lead by example and share their experiences with other businesses
- Dedicated to investing time and resource to benefit schools, colleges and young people
- Committed to working with other Cornerstone Employers in an Opportunity Are or Careers Hub
- Willing to galvanise their business networks in the are, to collaboratively meet the needs of schools, colleges and young people
- Focused on sustainability and act as an ambassador and champion for social mobility
