ACE To Employment

Employer & Industry Engagement

Make the world of work part of the conversation.

Direct engagement with employers can help people test assumptions, understand different careers and make more informed choices.

ACE works with education providers and organisations to develop purposeful encounters, experiences and relationships connected to the needs of their learners and participants.

Employer Engagement

Support to identify and engage relevant employers, professionals and speakers for careers programmes.

Activities can include careers talks, workplace insight, networking, mock interviews and careers events. The emphasis is on relevance, preparation and helping participants make use of the experience.

Work Placements & Industry Experiences

Support with developing and coordinating work placements and industry experiences, with responsibilities and arrangements agreed for each commission.

We help connect participants’ interests with opportunities to explore work in context. Availability depends on the brief, employer participation and placement requirements.

Industry Day

A tailored event bringing industry perspectives into an education or employability setting.

The format can combine speakers, discussions, practical activities and opportunities for questions, organised around the audience and intended learning.

From an encounter to a next step

An effective experience gives participants something they can use afterwards: a better understanding of a role, a question to investigate, a contact to follow up or a clearer sense of direction.
