SchoolstoBusiness: influencing the next generation of leaders

SchoolstoBusiness (S2B) is a digital platform giving businesses the tools to influence the next generation of leaders at the start of their journey – in the classroom. S2B enables companies of any size and sector to get involved with local schools and run activity sessions that enhance students’ skills for work. Deloitte worked with Heart of the City and several businesses to develop the open content platform, which includes a library of free materials for delivering effective and inspiring ready-made exercises that develop students’ work-related skills. We have contributed a range of employability materials to this site - developed through our employability programme – to the benefit of some 3,000 young people this year. Following a successful pilot in 2013, the platform - www.schoolstobusiness.org - is being rolled out nationally.
