EMPLOYERS NEEDED!

To meet the increased demand for work placements for students, schools NEED MORE EMPLOYERS willing to provide them with work experience. We need more private and public sector employers to open their doors to students interested in applying their skills in workplace settings. It's a sure way to help students connect with careers and with their community. And it also helps employers support and develop young workers.

BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING

Helping Students Benefits Employers

Students look to schools to teach them academic and workplace skills. Work experiences give students exposure to a variety of career options, help boost their confidence and let them build a network of references.
Students look to employers to give them a chance to prove themselves in real-life work settings. There are numerous benefits for employers who offer students work experiences

Building the Talent Pool

Create better-prepared workers, and reduce time-consuming and costly recruiting, hiring and training efforts.
Help enhance the work ethic in students, and provide valuable lessons such as pride in a job well done, punctuality, dependability and honesty.

Boosting the Employee Satisfaction Quotient

Employees who work with students gain new leadership and interpersonal skills.
Employees say their morale is improved and they enjoy the enthusiasm of youth.
Work experiences reinforce the organization's commitment to its workers and their families, by benefiting the children of employees.

It Makes Economic Sense

Youth unemployment is persistently higher than the adult rate, while employers scramble to find good and committed employees.
Giving students work experience helps promote a variety of career choices. It also enlarges the pool of qualified workers in sectors with shortages of skilled employees.

It's Good for All of Us

The bottom line is that when students make a successful transition from school to work, it's good for all of us -- our society, our economy, our workplaces and, most of all, our students.

SPREAD THE WORD!

Pass it on - high schools are looking for additional employer partners.
Invite your professional or trade association to explore opportunities for giving students a workplace experience.
Promote the concept in newsletters, seminars or presentations· Share the names of interested employers with your local school, and follow up by endorsing the value of work experiences.
