In fact, the more businesses we can involve in our careers programme, the more experiences students have. There is always a project running that we are looking for support from local businesses for. Here are just a few examples of ways you could get involved:
I was skeptical of the impact I could make in such a short space of time but was amazed when I seem to be teaching them new things after just two sessions. The experience has been extremely enjoyable and fulfilling. It feels great to be able to make a difference to bright young minds of the future!

We have all been so impressed with Lewis’s approach to the week, the challenge of working in a small and very busy team and his general attitude I wanted to just highlight how much of a pleasure it has been to host him this week.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Ellie this week. She's been enthusiastic, brilliant with the members and keen to learn. She's impressed myself and the senior management of the hotel that much this week we were slightly gutted that she’s not yet 18 as we would have been offering her a position as a leisure attendant here.

Mentoring at Swindon Academy through CSW’s programme has been a fantastic experience. Working with a group of 3 year 9 students on a monthly basis in both 1-2-1 and group sessions has enabled us to explore both personal ambitions and life skills such as team working and communication. Beginning with individual personal reflection, activities were tailored to the areas where students were less confident. We’ve all had the opportunity to develop through these sessions.
