Sometimes, in the immediacy of filling vacancies and finding the talent we need now, we forget how important and effective it is to develop future talent.
By investing in early careers and engaging with schools and colleges, you can showcase your business and your industry and inspire young people to learn the skills they need to excel in the world of work.
Research shows that students who have four or more encounters with the world of work while at school are 5 times less likely to become NEET (not in employment, education or training).
