Developing Edinburgh’s Young Workforce Employer Engagement is a big element Two-way partnership There is no exclusivity (no one-to-one partnerships) Initiative platform for you to view and book slots with employers called the Market Place CPD (CF2278–Fostering Business Partnerships) available (MY HR) HGIOS 4 (partnerships and skills) Employability Clusters are being set up (more work with primaries/early years centres and secondary's) - not just them and you Exclusivity – this does not mean we are stopping schools from engaging with employers, but that they cannot be solely with that school. This is based on the social mobility of the population, that students need multiple ways and opportunities to develop skills, not just one, as this would limit development and depth Clusters – packs were sent to all secondary school Head Teachers at the start of this session, and this is considered a priority to engage with your primaries more
