Introducing Our Workplace Partners Directory

Get involved – share your business today

We are excited to introduce our brand-new Workplace Partners Directory—a growing online resource designed to connect education providers with local businesses and organisations that are keen to support career development for young people across the Isle of Wight.

This dedicated webpage acts as an easy-to-navigate directory for schools and colleges, helping them discover which businesses can offer meaningful experiences to inspire and inform their students about the world of work. Whether it’s through offering work experience placements, career talks, workplace tours, or mentoring opportunities, our Workplace Partners are making a real difference in shaping the future workforce of our Island.

The directory is still in its infancy, and we’re actively calling out to businesses of all sizes and sectors to get involved. By joining our network, you’ll be playing a vital role in helping young people develop the skills, confidence, and understanding they need to succeed in their future careers—while also raising awareness of the opportunities available right here on the Isle of Wight.

We know that strong connections between employers and schools are key to building a thriving local economy. That’s why we’re committed to making it as simple as possible for schools to find and engage with businesses that want to give back and invest in the Island’s future talent.

If your organisation is passionate about supporting young people and can offer time, expertise, or experiences to enrich their career journeys, we would love to hear from you! Getting involved is easy, and together we can make a real impact.

Get in touch with us directly to add your business to the directory.

Let’s work together to inspire the next generation.
