Project Work - Fulfilling your Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

In every school and college, there are hundreds of ideas, lots of enthusiasm and minds that aren’t restricted by the history of events that have happened in your business. Where employees will ask why, young people will ask why not.

Capturing ideas

We can help you to capture young people’s ideas by putting you in touch with a local school that is keen to get involved in a real work project.

We’re not suggesting that the school replaces any of your own research and development initiatives but we are suggesting that they can complement them and help you to think outside the box.

Inspiring teachers

For some subjects, teachers can really benefit from working on real life projects. The experience they gain can be applied to the curriculum to bring it to life and to show students the relevance of subjects in the real world. 

Teachers have a lot to offer to business as well, bringing some theory and a fresh pair of eyes to projects that may need an injection of enthusiasm in your business.

 Employer Engagement

Project Examples

  • PriceWaterhouseCoopers sent almost 300 volunteers to take on the firm’s biggest community challenge yet. Volunteers went to schools with BXL to help students to develop employability skills with a series of activities including CV preparation, practice interviews and enterprise days
  • Wolseley, Bovis Lend Lease, Birmingham LEP and ENTA all contributed to creating an Outdoor Learning Space at St. Michael’s Primary School. Teachers, businesses and children all worked together to create a quiet area with a gazebo, geography area, growing area, wildlife area and a designated teaching space
  • Blue Whale at the Custard Factory - To support our Elev8 programme, we work with Blue Whale at the Custard Factory to help hard to reach young people to develop their employability skills and to have a positive work experience by recording their own music in the studios at Blue Whale.
