Our team believes that every young person deserves to have encounters with people from the world of work to help them reach their potential in school and beyond. Based in London and operating across the UK, we connect schools and colleges with inspiring volunteers.
“Working for Education and Employers is incredibly rewarding – you get to make a real difference while taking on meaningful and fulfilling work. Despite being a small team, our reach is vast, and the impact we make is truly significant! The people I work with are not only supportive but also incredibly friendly, making it a great environment to work and bring ideas to life.”
-Mitus Castillo, Partnerships Manager
Work Experience and Internships
As a small charity of 15 people, most of our staff work remotely and are only in the office once a week. This means that providing a supervised week’s work experience as we have done in the past is now not possible, however much we would like to. Recognising the importance of giving young people the chance to experience what the world of work is like we do try and provide the opportunity for people to spend a day or half-day with us. If you are interested in this, please do e-mail us with some details about yourself and what you are looking to gain from the experience – use this email: info@educationandemployers.org
We also provide a very limited number of internships. These are typically based on specific projects and are advertised in this area of the website when available. All of our internships are paid at the London living wage because our policy is that people should be paid.
Finally, for schools, we’re happy for any/all of our staff to come in and talk to young people of all ages about career opportunities in the charity sector. You often find yourself frenetically wearing many hats but it is incredibly rewarding. Please ask your school to get in touch with us through the Inspiring the Future website.
