Event description

Business Volunteer needed - Business Enterprise concept around Recycling Solutions

Business volunteers can visit their local schools to support and encourage small groups of students, to maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they aspire to be. You will be part of a one day enterprise challenge which is part of the UK National Curriculum around Careers Information Advice and Guidance CIAG. Share your career journey and help them to build a mini business in a day. They will create the design for a recycling/sustainable/environmentally friendly product which they will market to you. Be a part of the business panel for them to pitch their new idea. Join us as a judge to choose the winning team. This is a lively activity and we need business support to encourage learning and hone the soft skills of these students.
