We have built a network of over 100 Cornerstone Employers, committed to working with schools and colleges in areas in need of support.
Cornerstone Employers work together with their networks, the wider business community and the local Enterprise Coordinator or Hub Lead, to ensure all young people in an area have the opportunities they need to be prepared and inspired for the world of work.
We are working towards reaching a total of 150 Cornerstone Employers by June 2019.
