Connect with Employers
Marketplace for Education helps schools and colleges connect with businesses. It's a simple, easy to use online tool. Employers can register to use it and start passing on knowledge of their sector through workshops, talks or workplace visits. Your school or college can use Marketplace to search for opportunities posted by employers in your area, or use Founders4Schools to find and invite business leaders to an event.
