The Department for Education is looking for teachers, tutors and school leaders with experience of working on projects combining business and languages to take part in a focus group on 22 March.

The focus is part of a review undertaken by the Education and Employers Taskforce into the role that employers play in supporting pupil learning and progression within education. One element of the review focuses on young people studying Modern Foreign Languages and Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths subjects.

The focus group will discuss the impact of educational experiences involving employers on young people studying these subjects in KS4 and KS5. Experiences could involve activities such as Business Language Champions as well as work experience placements, enterprise education and business mentoring or careers advice.

The focus group will take place on Tuesday 22 March from 4.15 to 6.15 in Holborn, Central London. Participants will receive £45 plus travel expenses of up to £20.

If you are interested in taking part, email daniel.chapman@educationandemployers.org by 12 am on Friday 18 March with details of your job role, length of experience and brief details of the type of employer engagement activities you have been involved in.
