Small Business Summer – For Schools & Colleges
What is Small Business Summer?
Small Business Summer is a brand-new careers campaign brought to you by Amazing Apprenticeships and supported by the Edge Foundation.
It will support young people to increase their awareness of small businesses in their local community, and to understand the unique benefits of being an apprentice in a smaller organisation.
How To Get Involved
Access the free resources and use these at any time during the summer term (April – July).
Activities will help students to connect with opportunities in their local communities, as well as supporting schools to achieve Gatsby Benchmarks, demonstrate business connections to Ofsted and the Equalex Framework.
