Businesses – We need your expertise!

At Folkestone Academy we are busy growing your employees of the future.

We need your help to raise their aspirations, develop their employability skills and help them understand how their learning links to the world of work.

The Careers programme at Folkestone Academy is broad and there are a number of ways in which you could support:

• Provide work experience/work shadowing opportunities;

• Participate in careers fairs;

• Provide real-life projects for pupils to work on in specific subject areas;

• Support with mock interviews;

• Give an inspiring talk based on your industry or job role;

• Run a workshop with activities relating to your area of expertise;

• Be part of our discussions about pathways after school e.g. apprenticeships;

• Help champion specific issues and challenge barriers in the workplace around gender stereotyping, disability etc.
