Education Business Partnership - South West (EBP-SW) was established in the 1990s to set up, maintain and develop links between employers and schools and colleges in Devon and Torbay. The purpose is to ensure we support young people to get the right skills and knowledge to enable them to be economically competent when they leave full time education. We help schools create learning opportunities that are relevant to the world of work.

Through our partnership with the Local Authorities and school affiliation we can help you organise a range of activities to contextualise the curriculum and broker employer engagement.

To help you consider how to engage with employers we have also produced the Employer Engagement Guide.

Activities we can help you with include:

  • Enterprise and industry days
  • work experience placements, preparation, briefings and de-briefings
  • professional development placements for teachers
  • industry visits
  • work related learning
  • applied learning support.
