Business leaders in schools
Founders4Schools (
founders4schools.org.uk) is a charity that aims to inspire students by connecting them with local business leaders to help them prepare for the world of work. The service is completely free, and the online platform enables educators to find business leaders in their community and invite them to speak at their school. The quick request form means you can submit your requirements in minutes, or use the search platform to find the perfect match by filtering by postcode and the type of input you’re after, e.g. workplace visit, mock interview, keynote career talk. Once you’ve found a business leader to invite, just choose your dates, sign up, and let Founders4Schools do the rest. It saves you time researching companies, sending emails and making phone calls, and it’s a fantastic way to show students how the subjects they study in the classroom link to the workplace.
