The 600 Campaign is a brilliant example of how schools can, and arguably should, seek to proactively encourage businesses to invest in education. The Royal Latin has been working with local companies for many years, particularly in Phase One and Phase Two of the 600 Campaign.
The campaign strapline – Building the Future, Together – challenges businesses to play their part in ensuring that the education system is fit for purpose, and is capable of nurturing the skills that employers are looking for in young people.
Providing sponsorship and funding is only part of the story; the school works with each company to carefully listen to its own objectives and challenges, and then creates a partnership which provides opportunities to build mutually beneficial relationships. For companies, very often this means coming into school to give talks to students or help with projects; for students, it means powerful opportunities to hear about career opportunities and help solve real world business problems.
We are always looking to partner with carefully selected companies, and proactively build partnerships which benefit the school and our students, whilst also helping to meet the CSR objectives of local, national and global enterprises.
“Bringing together business and education is something we’re all passionate about. It’s one of those commitments that all parties know to be a good idea, but which schools and businesses can often feel is a complicated thing to actually achieve. We try to make it a straightforward and thoroughly rewarding experience for everyone involved – and it works. Seeing students enthused and excited to learn from businesses, and seeing how much the businesses enjoy sharing their worlds with young people is powerful stuff – everyone walks away from those interactions absolutely buzzing, with the sense that these experiences are essential in helping to nurture the employees of the future.” Jo Ballantine, Royal Latin Director of Development
