We support local businesses to showcase their organisation and build their future talent pipeline.
We're calling for all types of business - from SMEs to large international enterprises - to work with Opportunities Doncaster. Working with us not only gives you the chance to help local students grow in confidence and gain essential skills for work, but much more. You’ll also find that the experience has positive effects on your employees and business.
The Doncaster Promise is a jointly agreed set of entitlements and expectations between businesses, schools and the local public sector. For businesses, there are three key areas of expectation. When you engage with at least one of the Promise Pathways, we’ll support you to work with students, teachers and young people.
Give talks in schools and communities, host industry visits, participate in curriculum activities, sponsor/exhibit at Opportunities Doncaster LIVE, feature your business on Start Doncaster, support the Sheffield City Region Talent Bank or promote case studies of successful apprenticeships and graduate schemes in your business.
Offer meaningful work experience, apprenticeships or graduate schemes, join the Enterprise Adviser network, become a school Govenor/Trustee or engage with the Advance programme.
Get your workplace Disability Confident, work with Project Choice to deliver Supported Internships, become a mentor, participate in community enagement events or hold your own and commit to maximising local social value.
"Opportunities Doncaster has helped us to build relationships with schools, which we've found difficult in the past. It's key in helping us to build a pipeline, we value our students who come and learn with us."
Other local businesses talk about the benefits of working with young people and students.
