Employer Partners

We pair business leaders with schools or colleges in the region to help improve career-related learning from primary through to further education.

Join the Employer Network?

Join over 150 senior business leaders in the North East making a real difference in education. Partner with a local school or college to inspire the next generation, shape career pathways, connect with future talent, raise your profile, and give back to your community — all while gaining fresh insight into the education sector and building lasting relationships.

We recognise there are many ways to support education — from partnering with regional and national initiatives such as the STEM Ambassador Network and Apprenticeship Ambassador Network, to contributing through governance roles.

Who can apply?

We’re looking for senior business leaders in any sector to partner with schools and colleges across the North East.  We help employers connect with schools, colleges, and other education settings to find practical and impactful ways to make a real difference.

 Our aim is to support you in building new talent pipelines, closing skills gaps, and equipping young people with the essential skills they need to thrive in the workplace.

 

How much time does this involve?

From partnering with a school for a full academic year to offering one‑off engagements as short as an hour — and anything in between — every contribution is valued and appreciated.
