Employer or business

Most businesses genuinely want to contribute to the communities they are part of and to the young people who will eventually be working in their industries. The challenge is that the traditional model asks a lot: show up at a school, prepare a session, hope the students are engaged, repeat next year. For time-poor teams, especially in smaller businesses, that model often does not work in practice. And even when it does, it is hard to know whether your contribution made any real difference to the young people in the room.

Young people who recall four or more employer activities at school are five times less likely to become NEET and earn on average 16% more over their working life. The businesses that invest in this early are shaping the workforce they will hire from in five years.

Careers Navigator offers a different way in. You set a challenge rooted in your industry and your world of work, a real question, problem or task that means something to your business. That challenge reaches learners across multiple schools and settings. Young people engage with it at their own pace, learn about your sector, and develop the skills and knowledge you say you need from the next generation. You receive documented evidence of the engagement and impact your contribution generated.

• Set a real industry challenge once and reach learners across multiple settings without school visits
• Documented evidence of your community impact supporting social value reporting and CSR commitments
• Build genuine awareness of your sector, your business, and your opportunities with the next generation
• Low friction: no logistics, no coordination, no ongoing time commitment required from your team
