Meaningful Employer Encounters
There are many ways that members of Maritime UK South West can support the Careers Hubs across the country. Interaction between employers and students is very powerful, in terms of motivation and raising aspiration. You could join our Give An Hour | The Careers and Enterprise Company scheme and just give one hour of your time, going into a school or college and sharing your own story, letting students know about your own career path and maybe give some hints and tips. If you wanted to give more than this, you could look at the option of becoming an Enterprise Adviser. You can either be linked to one specific school and work strategically with them once per term or you could become an ‘agile’ Enterprise Adviser and offer support across multiple schools, maybe taking part in operational activities, such as mock interviews Help schools, special schools and colleges shape future careers | The Careers and Enterprise Company
