Connect-Ed 2014 will be focused on business , and will create a great opportunity for teachers, career advisors and support staff to engage and connect with business leaders based in Norfolk.

Promoting Knowledge and Careers

The main theme that runs throughout the day is “Getting Connect-Ed”, a real chance for those working with young people every day to get an insight into business, careers, and how business employers recruit.

Connect-Ed is about just that, getting connected. Developing young people, and providing opportunities for them to progress into the world of work, needs a network of people working together, informed about how the other operates day-to-day. Connect-Ed is about bringing those people together and sharing that knowledge.

The day will consist of a combination of presentations and interactive sessions. We would look to group those attending into small focus groups made up of teachers, careers staff, training providers and employers. Each focus group would contain 8-12 members with at least a half of the group made up of attending employers and encourage the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and career opportunities within the sector.

Session 1 – My Journey This session would be kicked off with an introduction to the day the employers present in the room and their willingness to work with those from education and careers.

ACTIVITY 1 A short presentation by some leading business figures, followed by a panel discussion on employment and career opportunities in business.ACTIVITY 2 “My Journey” – Each member of the focus group sharing their journey of how they got to where they are today.

Session 2 – Sector KnowledgeACTIVITY 3 Sector awareness, a presentation on how the sector has developed in the region, and where it is heading.ACTIVITY 4 Skills and Knowledge requirements in the sector, how these have changed, and how they are going to develop in the future.

Session 3 – Pathfinder How young individuals can develop into roles in the sector. This session would look at recruitment into the sector, training and qualifications requirements.

ACTIVITY 5 A short presentation around recruitment into the sector, and how jobs are advertised and recruited for.ACTIVITY 6 Group exercise where more knowledge can be shared around recruitment and training.

Session 4 – Connect-Ed Pledge A focus on how to take the knowledge back to the students, and engaging them with activities to inspire them into a career in the sector.

Those supporting the event would look to make pledges to engage and involve their organisation in supporting local students.
