About Education Business Futures
We work across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire providing support to schools, colleges and businesses to develop and deliver quality work-related learning opportunities, including work experience and enterprise education, for young people. Our key focus is 14 – 19 year old learners but we also undertake projects and activities with primary schools.
Work-related learning is a statutory requirement for all 14-16 year olds. Schools must make provision for all learners to:
- Learn about work, by providing opportunities to develop knowledge and understanding of the world of work and enterprise.
- Learn for work, by developing key employability and enterprise skills.
- Learn through work, by providing direct experiences of work.
EBF supports this provision by assisting schools and employers with:
- Work experience placements
- Delivering enterprise and employability activities
- Mentoring for learners
- Development opportunities for teaching staff and employers
With effect from 1 April 2010, EBF (formerly NEBA, Nottinghamshire Education Business Alliance) has joined forces with Connexions Nottinghamshire, the advice and guidance service for young people, and the 16-18 education and training commissioning services previously carried out by the LSC to form a new company called Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Futures. The work previously carried out by NEBA and the Opportunities team in Connexions will continue under the brand of 'Education Business Futures. More information on the changes can be found in the documents below.
