What you can Offer

Our partners promote opportunities and benefits for young people to work together in the spirit of partnership to share resources and celebrate achievement.

There are lots of ways that partners can get involved with us.

It could be as simple as sharing your knowledge, skills, and experience, offering to be a guest speaker or hosting a workplace visit.

You may be able to provide the right mix of learning, skills training, and opportunities for experience or perhaps you can support a young person with a scholarship, apprenticeship or cadetship.

Maybe you are looking to invest in your future workforce by providing employment opportunities.

Join us today and cement your commitment to our city.
