At a recent meeting of the Great Yarmouth Chamber Council, Great Yarmouth Borough Council Cabinet and local schools, the Chamber challenged schools to work in greater collaboration with the business community.
The meeting highlighted that whilst all the schools have their own careers advice programmes and individual work experience arrangements with businesses, it was apparent that there is a lack of co-ordination between the schools and the business community as a whole. Similarly, the business community are willing to offer their support, but are unsure as to the best access to the schools and need a co-ordinated approach.
The meeting concluded with the schools agreeing to collate all their career advice key dates and provide a timeline to the Norfolk Chamber, to enable co-ordinated support from the local business community to ensure these key dates are supported by the different sectors of industry.
