What a fantastic day at the Bucks Skills Hub Annual Conference! 🙌
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today, from schools and careers leaders to employers, Enterprise Advisers and partners from across Buckinghamshire.
There was a really powerful message running throughout the day: helping every young person find their best next step takes all of us.
A special thank you to Nicola Hall, Director of Education at The Careers and Enterprise Company, for joining us and sharing the national perspective on careers education and work experience.
And to our brilliant panel for sharing their experiences and bringing the conversation to life:
- Adam Palmer, St Michael’s School
- Susanna Sutton, Pebblebrook School
- Victoria Hingley, EKFB
- Bonnie May, Global Infusion Group
- And the students from Sir Thomas Fremantle School
From meaningful work experience and employer encounters to supporting young people at risk of becoming NEET, today was about how we turn opportunity into reality for every young person.
A huge thank you too to all the employers who joined us. Careers education works best when employers step forward, share their experience and help young people understand the incredible range of careers and pathways available to them.
And of course, a very special thank you to the Careers & Enterprise Company and Buckinghamshire Council, along with our sponsors Fairhive, OCU Group and Amazon. Your support helps make the work of Bucks Skills Hub possible and enables us to create more opportunities for young people across Buckinghamshire.
There is so much opportunity here in Buckinghamshire. By working together, we can help more young people see it, experience it and believe it is open to them.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, asked questions, shared ideas and made the conference such a brilliant day. 👏
