I work for Career Academies UK, a charity working to raise the aspirations of 16-19 year olds considering a career in business
www.careeracademies.org.uk.
100 schools and colleges around the UK are running Career Academies and locally, we work with Haringey Sixth Form Centre on White Hart Lane who are launching their Career Academy in September.
To run successfully, the Sixth Form Centre needs support from local people with business experience to help enrich the students' studies through mentoring, lectures, trips and visits.
At the moment, we're recruiting volunteers for our Partner in Business mentoring programme which matches students with individuals with business experience to act as a window on the world of work, to offer advice and guidance through their sixth form studies. The time commitment is minimal (10 meetings over 18 months) and the student will travel to meet you at your place of work. Induction sessions are held for all volunteers before meeting with the students.
If you're interested in supporting the Sixth Form Centre as a Partner in Business, think you have something else to offer, or would just like some more information, please let me know either through this site or at my work address, rhiannon.evans@careeracademies.org.uk.
Hoping some of you will be able to help.
