Information for Employers

Are you an Employer? Do you run a local business? 

If you are an employer and would like to help us to create meaningful encounters with the world of work for our learners, we’d love to hear from you. Although Woodlands is based in Wem, our learners come from all over Shropshire. Data shows that a young person who has four or more encounters with an employer is 86% less likely to be unemployed or not in education and training and can go on to earn 18% more during their career. 

What could you do? 

• Support us to provide at least four employer and workplace encounters for our learners, starting from Year 7 or earlier  
• Visiting our school to deliver work-related learning, or just talk about your work 
• Mentoring our learners 
• Supporting our learners to experience a real working environment away from school Providing work experience placements and/or work shadowing 
• Supporting our events 

We would love to hear from you.
