SUMMARY:Hyndburn Education Summit
DESCRIPTION:Chaired by Murray Dawson\, Chair #AmazingAccrington Business Leaders Group & Managing Director of Scott Dawson Advertising \nPanel: \n\nSara Britcliffe MP\nDr Sakthi Karunanithi MBBS M.D. MPH FFPH\, Director of Public Health\, Lancashire County Council – wellbeing post-covid\nMichele Lawty-Jones\, Director of Lancashire Skills Hub (LEP)\nCollette King\, HR Director\, Studio (Hyndburn’s largest business employing over 2\,400)\nTony Grimshaw OBE\, Director of What More UK\nHeath Groves\, Managing Director\, Sundown – the opportunity for high tech jobs of the future starts at primary schools\nAmanda Melton CBE\, Principal\, A&R College & N&C College\nGareth Lindsay\, Managing Director\, NLTG\n\nThis invitation is directed to the Headteacher and Careers Advisers within your establishment. \nThe government had previously tasked schools and colleges with providing each young person a minimum of seven encounters with employers (at least one encounter per year) and at least two opportunities for workplace experiences. \nWe are engaging with all Hyndburn schools to ensure post-covid we can give the best opportunity for future employment. \nIf students have multiple encounters with employers while in education\, not only does it significantly reduce the likelihood of unemployment\, but it also means they are likely to earn more during their working lives. \nThere is a strong evidence base which endorses the benefits of providing young people with access to employers\, working people and experiences of the workplace. It highlights that employer engagement helps young people make effective transitions to work and improves their long-term earnings.  \n90% of 15\,025 surveyed teenagers agreed that work experience had helped them better understand why it is important to do well at school. \nWe believe it is important to build and strengthen the careers strategy between our schools and employers and continue to develop these links. \nRead more about our last Education Summit here
