Become a Cornerstone Employer
Cornerstone Employers play a vital role in helping us set the agenda locally; advocating for meaningful business and education partnership, getting involved with initiatives, and in many cases contributing to the wider skills strategy.
We currently have opportunities for businesses to get involved in Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire.
Why become a Cornerstone Employer?
Getting involved does everything from helping build your brand and making your recruitment more effective, to making your talent pipeline stronger, and ensures your connection to local people is deeper.
It can help your business to:
- Influence and inspire more young people to enter your industry, collaborate with like-minded businesses and have greater collective impact
- Support those who face the biggest barriers to reach their potential when they leave education
- Increase employee engagement, developing key skills and experience
- Build a diverse future talent pipeline and help fill skills gaps
