Could you use an employer speaker at a Diploma options event?

If you are beginning to offer the new 14-19 Diploma qualifications, the Diploma Employer Champions Network is available to help raise awareness and build confidence in your courses.

The Network includes over 160 volunteers from different enterprises and industries, based all over England. The Diploma Champions are well-informed and passionate supporters of the Diploma, representing private, public and third-sector employers of all types and sizes, including many household names: Toyota, Rolls-Royce, BT, IBM, Hyatt, Malmaison, Toni & Guy, Sassoon, the RAF, GMTV, Lovell Partnership, Leicester City Council and the Cleveland Police.

If you are running events or options evenings to help young people understand the Diploma qualifications, Champions are available to speak about the employer perspective on the qualifications and the valuable skills and employability that young people can gain from the new Diplomas.

Please contact Jo Kelly jkelly@semta.org.uk to discuss what our Champions can offer and to request support for one of your events. A full list of Champions and other news from the Network can be found at www.dcsf.gov.uk/14-19/decn
