Opportunities for employers

There are numerous opportunities for employers to become  involved in activities  in partnership with schools. The DE4L Network has been established to identify how businesses wish to become involved, and match these wishes to the needs of Doncaster schools and learners.

There are three levels at which employers and their employees can become involved:

1. Knowledge and information gathering – activities that provide opportunities to find out what’s going on in Doncaster schools.
2. Activities with learners – at least eight activities that provide opportunities to meet and work with young people.
3. Supporting and influencing – lots of activities provide opportunities to support schools and teachers using business expertise.

Working in partnership with schools not only benefits schools and learners but also has enormous benefits for businesses which include:

Developing Staff Skills Planning and problem solving Confidence and Leadership Creativity and Innovation Presentation skills Communication Teamwork Meeting Business Objectives Self Motivation The right thing to do Succession planning Contract Procurement Address future skills needs Reduce recruitment costs Improve staff retention and commitment Local Economic and Social Regeneration More enterprising culture in schools Better equiped future workforce More local recruitment options Reduced crime/ Anti Social Behaviour Raised Aspirations Raising Company Profile Media coverage Early recruitment Local recruitment Employer of choice Nationally recognised qualifications
