Connect with young people in Salford
Salford is working to become a Child Friendly City, and local employers play a vital role in helping young people thrive. By partnering with schools and colleges, you can inspire the next generation, build a strong talent pipeline, and make a real difference in your community.
By getting involved, you will:
- help young people develop skills and confidence
- spot emerging talent early
- strengthen your community links and deliver on corporate social responsibility
- improve staff engagement through volunteering
Research shows that students with four or more meaningful encounters with employers are less likely to become NEET and earn a higher salary on average.
Ways you can support include:
- workplace experiences, part-time roles and placements to give students real-world insight
- employer encounters such as delivering talks, workshops, or mentoring sessions
- curriculum connections and bringing learning to life through live briefs or co-delivered lessons
- targeted support to help care leavers, SEND students, or those at risk of becoming NEET
- strategic roles such as becoming a school governor or Enterprise Adviser
