The Partnership recognised the need to map the links between employers, schools and colleges and undertook its first mapping exercise in 2004.

The aim of this exercise is that we should refrain from approaching employers, particularly SMEs, if we can see they are already working with another school.

Recognition of the contribution already being made by an employer avoids the same employers being continually approached and helps maintain goodwill between all parties.

Trident, Education Business Partnership and all organisations under the Link-Ed umbrella also take this information into account.

It is recognised the list is not comprehensive and never can be even with regular updating  but it has proved valuable in our relationship with business.

PDF icon 50.6Mb Date 08/2007 This is a very large file you should only consider downloading it on high speed Broadband

Thurrock Learning Partnership worked with Thames Gateway South Essex and other partners to produce this careers guide for young people based on career opportunities within South Essex.   The Guide is divided into industry sectors, eg, Logistics, Engineering, followed by a comment on the industry by a local employer and case studies of young people working in a range of occupations within the industry sector.   Thurrock employers are well represented in the Guide.  The project was funded in Investing in Communities.
