At Bright Minds, we are always looking to build strong partnerships with employers who want to inspire and support the next generation of talent. By working with us, you can make a real difference to young people’s futures while helping to develop the future workforce with the skills and values your industry needs.
Why Partner With Us?
We’re committed to preparing our students for the world beyond school, and employer engagement is a vital part of that journey. As an employer, you can help students gain a real understanding of the workplace, raise aspirations, and explore what different careers actually look like in practice.
Our students are developing a wide range of employability skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, resilience and digital literacy. Through your involvement, they can see how these skills are used in real jobs and industries.
Ways Employers Can Get Involved:
- Deliver a Talk or Workshop: Share your career journey, industry insights, or day-to-day experiences in your field.
- Offer Workplace Visits or Tours: Allow students to experience your working environment and ask questions about roles, pathways, and expectations.
- Host a Work Experience Placement: Give students a chance to gain hands-on experience and an understanding of workplace culture and expectations.
- Support Careers Events: Take part in careers fairs, mock interviews, or skills sessions to help students prepare for the next stage of their journey.
- Contribute to Projects or Challenges: Collaborate on real-world problem-solving tasks or enterprise events that simulate workplace scenarios.
Our Commitment to Quality and Statutory Requirements
We work in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks, the national standard for high-quality careers education. Our careers curriculum is centered around the CDI framework outcomes.
We also meet the requirements of the Provider Access Legislation (PALs), which gives training providers, employers, colleges and universities access to speak to students in Years 8–13 about technical education and apprenticeships.
By engaging with Bright Minds, you’ll be helping to support students in the workplace. Whether you’re a small business, a national company, or a sector-specific training provider, we’d love to hear from you.
