Careers - Employers Information
At Yewlands Academy we welcome engagement with employers, training providers and education partners who are interested in supporting our pupils to understand the world of work and the future development opportunities available to them. Employer and education partner involvement is vital in helping young people understand the reality of the workplace, develop essential career management skills and see how learning connects to their future aspirations.
There are a range of established careers activities that employers and providers can get involved in. We are also keen to work collaboratively to develop new and innovative opportunities that reflect current and future labour market needs.
By working with us, partners help to inspire young people, develop their employability skills and raise awareness of progression routes, while also benefiting from early engagement with future talent and becoming part of a growing network of employers and providers committed to high-quality careers education in Sheffield.
All engagement with external providers is delivered in line with our Provider Access Policy, ensuring pupils receive impartial, high-quality information about all post-16 and post-18 pathways.
