Why employers support

Business Talks

We want passionate, enthusiastic people to work in our industry and by talking to Hospitality students about the importance of customer service we can emphasise our requirements right from the start.
Stephen Roberts
General Manager, Crowne Plaza, Liverpool City Centre

Employability Interviews

The RSPCA benefits from meeting young people interested in animal care and we can explain the qualities needed for this career. Every interview has been a joy and an antidote to the stereotyping of today’s young people.
John Smallwood
Secretary & Administrator, RSPCA Liverpool Branch

Enterprise Days

Schools often focus on attainment. Liverpool Compact EBP, in conjunction with employers provides key skills which make students ready for employment or Further Education.

Primary Careers Carousels

We take great pride in our strong community links and the Careers Carousels allow Cruden to engage with a younger audience to promote the benefits of a career in the Construction Industry, tackling any misconceptions at an early stage.

Sixth Form Placements

It is almost like she has worked here for a long time.  She gets on well with colleagues, is enthusiastic and willing to learn.  A credit to her college.

Unit Manager, Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, Mersey Care NHS Trust

Work Experience

Working with Liverpool Compact makes things so much easier from a management perspective.  We like taking students as hopefully they get a taste of what working for us would be like.

Store Manager, Costa (Next, Speke)

Staff find this programme very rewarding. Initially the young people are shy and nervous but within 2 weeks become confident and part of the team. It’s lovely to see. A couple have even come back to us for Summer Jobs and they fit in perfectly which is great for us!
