Our work with businesses<br />
Our work with employers underpins everything we do.<br />
Our programmes wouldn’t have as much of a profound impact<br />
on our young people without volunteers providing that direct<br />
access to the world of work. Volunteers work with the young<br />
people through our workshops, masterclasses, mentoring<br />
programmes and networking events to help them develop their<br />
communication, self-awareness and teamwork skills.<br />
Through sharing their own knowledge and experiences, our<br />
young people are able to break down their perceptions of ‘City<br />
workers’ and understand that the people who work within the<br />
glass towers of London are just like them.<br />
