Volunteer
Employers
For employers, working with the education sector is a vitally important way to support young people in finding their best next step. It is also a way for business to connect with the next generation and play an active role in helping shape the skills of tomorrow’s workforce.
To support employers provide high quality engagement and have the most impact for both the young person and their business, the Careers and Enterprise Company now have the Employer Standards, which help business focus their work with schools and colleges and create the impact they are looking for.

The Role of an Enterprise Advisor
You should never underestimate the positive influence you can have on young people.
We offer a number of ways to get involved, from sharing your career journey and insights with young people in schools and colleges, offering experiences of your workplace to supporting school leaders strategically with their careers programme as an Enterprise Adviser (EA).
The Enterprise AdviserLink opens in a new window role matches a volunteer from business to a school on a one-to-one basis to support the school’s strategic careers plan. We are also looking at how our EAs in Coventry can work better across multiple schools so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
The Locality
In Coventry, we particularly need EA’s working with SEND schools and Alternative Provisions who know a bit around the career opportunities for students with additional needs.
