Delivering social impact through education outreach for a better future
Did you know that there are around 11 million corporate volunteer days available each year from UK employers? But the reality, according to a recent article in the Financial Times, is that only 15% of UK based employees are using their volunteer days. Engaging with young people to showcase careers and skills can deliver an incredible return on investment and social impact.
This session will take you through how education engagement benefits young people, the volunteer and contributes to ESG goals and how to get involved. The session is suitable for anyone interested in individual education outreach, developing a corporate programme or wanting to measure and report social value for ESG reporting.
