Employer Hub

Can you help shape the future workforce? Partner with The Buckingham School

The Power of our Parent Community

We know that our parent body is made up of business owners, industry experts, skilled tradespeople and employees across a vast range of sectors. You possess the insight, experience and networks that can inspire the next generation, and we invite you to become an Employer Partner.

How to Get Involved

Whether you can spare 20 minutes for a talk or offer a placement, whether it is one day or five days, your contribution makes a tangible difference.

We are currently looking for support with:

Work Experience: Hosting Year 10 students (July) or Sixth Formers for placements.
Guest Speakers: Delivering a short talk about your career journey or industry during an assembly.
Event support: Helping support careers events for all year groups. This could be in the form of mock interviews/assessment centres/guess who, to name a few.

Why Partner With Us?

Engaging with the school is a fantastic way to spot future talent for your own business, develop the mentoring skills of your current staff, and give back to the local Buckinghamshire community.

We work closely with Buckinghamshire Business First and Bucks Skills Hub to ensure our placements deliver real value to employers.
