100th school-employer pairing confirmed

Longridge High School in Preston has become the 100th school to join the Lancashire Enterprise Adviser Network.

Launched in October 2016

Longridge High School has been officially twinned with Motionlab Marketing.

It also helps boost their potential employability, with research indicating that a young person who has four or more encounters with an employer is 86 per cent less likely to be unemployed, or not in education or training.

To celebrate Longridge High School becoming the 100th school to join the Enterprise Adviser Network, a special event was held at the school attended by Edwin Booth, chair of the Lancashire LEP, and Clare Hutchinson, area manager north for the Careers and Enterprise Company.

"This initiative also reflects how our skills and employment strategy has been successfully aligned to our wider strategic economic plan, and has been directly linked to priority sectors where we anticipate we will see substantial growth over the next five to ten years.”

Simon Iredale, CEO from Motionlab said: “In the world we live in today where technology runs at an incredible pace, skills in real world environments are essential. Enabling young people to realise the requirements necessary to forge a career in the modern world are key to their career development.

By partnering with local volunteer business leaders and their respective firms, participating schools in Lancashire’s Enterprise Adviser Network get access to a wealth of insights and ‘frontline’ evidence about what work is really like.
