BEST - Business and Education Succeeding Together- The Wandsworth Education Business Partnership

Businesses and schools may seem worlds apart but they have lots to offer one another. Businesses, whether in private or public sector, multinational or small, have a wealth of skills and knowledge thatyoung people can tap into. Students are not the only ones to gain when businesses work with schools.

By working with schools, businesses can:

• Enhance their reputation in the local community.
• Demonstrate genuine corporate social responsibility.
• Develop their own staff’s skills in communication, leadership and teamwork.
• Make new business contacts.
• Play an active part in investing in the workforce of the future.
• Have fun! Working with young people can be both challenging and fun.
