Education Leeds - Education
Business Partnership (EBP)
Leeds EBP, part of Leeds City Council, works to create links between schools and businesses. Employers have a vital part to play in helping to prepare young people for their future careers, and helping them to acquire general life skills.
Leeds EBP creates opportunities for employers and business people to be involved with enterprise and other voluntary Education Business Link activities in Leeds schools.
Throughout this work we aim to achieve the following:
- Prepare young people for the world of work in particular and adult life in general
- Raise teacher awareness of the world of work to support the work-related curriculum
- Contribute to the raising of standards of achievement via work related activities
- Support the business community in its need to create a world-class competitive workforce for the future.
If you are a school or a business/other organisation and would like to know more contact Leeds EBP as follows:
