Business Champions
From an early age, it is important to educate children about the various careers available to them once they finish school. Businesses are an excellent source of information and provide guidance to our next generation of work force. The expertise of businesses helps to educate young people in a way that is real-world, relevant and meaningful.
Young people tend to be highly receptive to receiving career information and advice.
