Employers and volunteers - Surrey Careers Hub

Share your skills and experience today to support Surrey's workforce of tomorrow

Employers and volunteers are crucial to the Careers Hub. Whether you can give a lot or a little time, your knowledge and experience matter.

As an employer, never underestimate the positive influence you can have on young people. Giving students much-needed and valuable exposure to diverse employers and workplaces allows them to meet role models and inspire aspirations around future pathways, jobs, and opportunities.

Working with the education sector is a way for businesses to connect with the next generation, play an active role in increasing diversity, help shape the skills of tomorrow's workforce, and attract job and apprenticeship applicants.
