Key services

Events

We build events around your desired outcomes. Develop skills, inspire future talent, or encourage them to take the next step and apply. Our mix of in-school, virtual or in-office delivery enables targeting of both cold spots and commutable locations.
Our in-house team creates content that will land well with students and support teachers’ curriculum gaps. Our facilitators bring content to life for students, the perfect double act to your volunteers who share first-hand experiences and break down barriers for students.

Work experience

Our tailored work experience programmes blend Connectr expertise with specific content delivered virtually, in-person or hybrid that enables ‘real life’ meaningful insight into your organisation. From a fully managed work experience programme to expert guidance on starting to deliver your own high quality programme, we can support you to launch, revitalise or extend a purposeful work experience programme.

Your time is precious, so let us give you the brain-space and time back.

Impact Reporting

We believe in data-led decision making. From using data to select the right schools, analysing engagement trends, to gathering robust feedback to understand distance travelled from teachers, students and employee volunteers. We collect data through every project we run, so you can be confident on ROI for your business. We can also help you to tell your impact story, creating a fully designed Social Impact Report.

Partner schools

To have the maximum impact on young talent, partner school relationships must be long term, consistent and mutually beneficial. For those looking to supercharge their school engagement and see long-term benefit we offer award-winning support through our Partner Schools model. We will work with you to identify and broker multiyear relationships with target schools, often in cold spots, and create a menu of activity designed to meet the needs of the school and the employer.
