Buckinghamshire Skills Hub
Bucks Skills Hub inspires and prepares young people for the fast-changing world of work.
Based at Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership, we connect employers and educators and make sure young people gain the right skills for our local growth sectors.
Bucks Skills Hub is part of the national Careers and Enterprise Company network which creates high-impact careers opportunities for young people through meaningful enterprise encounters.
The network is made up of trained Enterprise Coordinators who:
• work with clusters of schools and colleges to build careers plans
• make connections to local and national employers
Each school and college is supported by an Enterprise Adviser, a senior business volunteer, who:
• helps unlock relationships with other local employers
• provides the head teacher or careers team with strategic counsel to develop an effective careers strategy
GET CONNECTED
Visit our online hub https://oppsinbucks.org/ which connects employers and educators. Employers register their willingness to get involved and state what they have to offer (such as resources, workplace visits and mentoring). Educators can then take up these offers, or post specific requests for support.
Our website https://wannabebucks.org/about-us/ connects young people with local businesses through work experience, apprenticeship and employment opportunities.
