Details
Employers will be given the opportunities to partner with schools and organisations that work with young people outside school. They will co-create activities and information which cover job opportunities, new technologies, business developments and local skills shortages, and will engage directly with young people. The successful applicant(s) will also work closely with teachers, parents and other professionals that work with young people (including training and careers guidance professionals).
Applicants will need to demonstrate that employers are at the heart of their approach and that employers will lead the strategic governance and local operational priorities of the project.
Successful applicants will also consider the challenges and opportunities identified in the Sector Skills Plans. A cross-cutting analysis of the Sector Skills Plans identified careers inspiration as a common priority across all sectors. Applicants may wish to consider particular sectors which will be a priority in their project delivery, or aim to provide inspiration on the full range of opportunities in the New Anglia LEP area. They should take account of the opportunities within the strategic opportunity areas discussed in the Local Industrial Strategy. Successful applicants will also show how their activity will enable schools to meet the Gatsby benchmarks.
