South Yorkshire Employers Invited to Help Shape Future Workforce

Ever wondered how educational outreach can shape your future workforce? The South Yorkshire Careers Hub is calling on local employers to take part in its upcoming engagement event, Shaping Your Future Workforce, taking place on Friday 17 October 2025 at the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Rotherham.

Designed specifically for SMEs, the event will showcase how organisations of all sizes can work with schools and colleges to inspire and prepare young people for the world of work. From Give an Hour initiatives to Enterprise Advisor roles, attendees will hear first-hand how businesses are already making a difference.

The event will also highlight the new Modern Work Experience model, which ensures every young person has access to high-quality, varied workplace experiences — totalling 10 days across secondary education. This innovative approach aims to connect education with industry and unlock the skills and opportunities of South Yorkshire’s future workforce.

Places are limited, so early booking is advised.
