Education and Employers is a charity that connects primary and secondary schools and colleges with employers and individual volunteers working together on a range of in-school activities that can improve the futures of young people.
Volunteers encourage young people to broaden their horizons 
by providing first-hand career insights to the next generation.
We want the Civil Service to be an inclusive workplace for all and more representative of the communities that we serve. Volunteering for projects like this allows us to inspire potentially the next generation of civil servants.
