Cornerstone Employers are a flagship group of businesses of every size, shape, type and sector who transform the lives of young people in their area.
Celebrated by government, Cornerstone Employers work with networks of schools and colleges to improve careers education, make sure key skills for their sector are understood by teachers and education leaders, inspire students, champion jobs in their local area, and have a direct route into potential new employees living on their doorstep.
Why become a Cornerstone Employer?
Cornerstone Employers tell us getting involved in their local community through this programme does everything from making their recruitment more effective, to making their talent pipeline stronger, and ensuring their connection to local people is deeper. But more specifically, it can help your business to:
- Influence and inspire more young people to enter your industry, collaborate with like-minded businesses and have greater collective impact
- Build a diverse future talent pipeline and help to fill skills gaps
- Back social mobility in your local area by working with Careers Hubs to support those who face the most barriers to reach their potential when they leave education
- Increase employee engagement, developing key skills and experience
We are building our group of Cornerstone Employers and would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how you could become a Cornerstone Employer for the EM3 region.
