From Enterprise Advisers to Careers Partners: Building Relationships

Lincoln Bishop University is hosting From Enterprise Advisers to Careers Partners: Building Relationships on Thursday 3 December, a full-day session that marks a bit of a turning point for how local businesses and schools work together. The whole day is facilitated by Wil Payne, an Enterprise Adviser and Partner at Newland Partners, and it runs from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.

The occasion is the relaunch of the Enterprise Adviser role as the new 'Careers Partner' role, a change intended to strengthen employer-education partnerships for young people across Greater Lincolnshire. Over the past year, the programme has been celebrating progress, innovation and success in the region, and this session is where the new title becomes official. A good part of the day is spent clarifying the different roles available to businesses and volunteers, so if you've wondered how a company actually fits into the picture, this is where it gets spelled out.

It's not just a briefing, though. You'll get practical examples of successful employer engagement—real-world cases of how these partnerships have worked in practice—and there's a chance to influence the future direction of the Careers Partner Network. If you're involved in the local business community or education, it's a way to see where the network is heading and have your say in it.

It's held at Lincoln Bishop University, on Longdales Road, Lincoln LN1 3DY, and it's free to attend. The session runs from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm on Thursday 3 December.
