Why invest time and resources in work experience?
Offering workplace experiences is more than a good deed - it’s an investment in the future of your business. An opportunity to tackle your skills gaps.
Modern work experience supports equity of opportunity for young people and builds the knowledge, skills and behaviours you need in business. Young people see the possibilities ahead, and it helps you connect with the next generation of talent. And the pride and purpose it brings, can inspire your whole organisation.
If you are a business owner or founder and are asking, “Why should I invest time and money in offering modern work experience?” Or you work in early careers, recruitment, social value or social responsibility and are asking “How can I build a case to deliver modern work experience?” These resources should help to answer those questions.
Every organisation will have different drivers. Select the parts that help with your business case and assist your decision-making (or that of key stakeholders). Each section is accompanied by evidence and examples. Define what success looks like for you and prioritise the information you use accordingly.
The business case & accompanying slide deck cover:
- Commercial benefits
- Early/Inclusive talent pipeline development
- Social value/community impact
- Skills development
