What are the benefits?

You will spend less time and resources on:

  • motivating and micro-managing young people, as they will already have demonstrated an interest in your sector, and be more pro-active employees.
  • retaining them, as they will have a more realistic and informed view of your sector, and so are more likely to stay in your company.

You will also have:

  • a stronger bond with many different parts of your local community, including parents (some of whom may be your current employees), schools and colleges, all creating strong word-of-mouth for your company.
  • another way to develop, improve and test the talent of ‘rising stars’ within your own company through supporting them to represent your company through talks and other sessions for young people.
  • a source of media stories for your company to increase its profile, both in local newspapers and your specialist press
  • new, young, fresh thinking that could help solve some of your company’s real and genuine manufacturing and product design problems.
