Thousands of unemployed young people are eager to overcome whatever obstacles they are facing and get into work. Your skills, influence, experience and financial support can help them get there.
As a Corporate Partner, your support will:
Help unemployed young people enter sustainable employment
Inspire your staff to volunteer their professional skills
Make a positive impact on your strategic CSR objectives

2. Volunteering opportunities
Encourage your staff to volunteer their professional skills, helping Spear programme candidates with:
Mock interviews
Skills-based workshops
Presentation feedback
Hosting a company visit
3. Employ young people
Offer entry-level roles to our diverse, motivated Spear candidates. Help them take that first crucial step towards long-term employment.
We're very glad to have had the opportunity to have Daniel intern with us and will look forward to continued partnership with Spear.

Spear graduates have brought a huge amount to our business – 10% of our workforce are now Spear graduates. They’re quick learners, they’re keen and they inspire the rest of our staff by their enthusiasm. I’d really encourage any business to consider hiring Spear graduates.

Just sending you a quick note to thank you (the Spear team and the trainees) for such a wonderful evening yesterday. It was really inspiring (and equally empowering) to see the incredible growth of the young people. The extent to which their maturity and confidence has developed since we saw them at the company visit, just a few weeks ago, is remarkable!
