BIG in Education
Aside from our flagship mentoring programme, we also provide students with tailored support from our business volunteers by organising
bespoke workshops, career insight visits and supporting
students for their work experience placements.
These opportunities focus on helping our students increase their employability skills to get them career-ready. Other initiatives include:
Mock interviews
CV workshops
Personal statement development
Curriculum enrichment
Networking and communication
Financial literacy workshops
Work experience preparation
Our flexibility in this area means we regularly develop exciting bespoke opportunities in line with our schools’ strategic priorities and in line with our business partners’ capacities.
If your school or company is interested in any of the offers listed above or you would like more information, please email maria.tonchievici@thebigalliance.org.uk
