Young Chamber connects businesses with young people in partnership with local education providers and a range of education business partnerships. In a number of ways, it helps to bridge the gap between education and the workplace, highlighting the exciting and rewarding careers for young people. Many young people haven’t had the preparation or opportunities they need to succeed in the workplace. We are determined to ensure that businesses, educators, and government share the burden when it comes to preparing young people for work. EBP South (Education, Business Partnership South) and Basingstoke Consortium provides a strong partnership with Hampshire Chamber. As a registered charity established in 1997 it calls on over 20 years’ experience in providing career inspiration, preparation and experience to young people. With a mission to inspire and prepare young people for the world of work, EBP South and Basingstoke Consortium works with young people from Primary Schools to Colleges across Hampshire and the surrounding areas providing a range of in-house career guidance programmes and activities; as well as external events. 74,000 + volunteer hours from businesses and professionals ensures the success of this programme delivering a varied careers programme connecting students to businesses, supported by experienced Career Development Practitioners. Young people are inspired in their career choice through engagement with employers, direct experience of work and support in the transition from learning to work.
