About us - Education Business Partnership

Each year we help a wide range of businesses to meet their objectives through the programmes we develop and deliver with them. We harness the value from nearly 4000 volunteer hours and over 1,000 work experience placements for the benefit of young people across the region.

We’re proud of the work that our dedicated team deliver, in partnership with businesses of all sizes, across all sectors, to positively impact over 12,000 young people each year.

We’re passionate believers in ensuring that young people are well prepared for the world and achieve their potential. But we think the best way for you to find out more about us is hear from some of our partners:

Business Feedback

“It’s good to be professional when approaching schools, you will need help! We were lucky as a lot of this was already in place through EBP. The introductions, professionalism and the ability to work together was invaluable. EBP have a wealth of experience and could steer us and guide us to create a really successful programme.”

Alex Tatham, Managing Director – Westcoast

School/College Feedback

“The programme has been an unreserved positive experience for students at The Downs and has had a significant impact on the improvement of their skills and confidence. All students indicate an improvement in their confidence; their effort and motivation; their ability to work in teams and to speak in front of others. It has helped them to be more self-reflective and proactive in their learning which are important building blocks to success.”

Head Teacher, The Downs School

Ultimately our mission is to ‘inspire our future workforce’ and everything we do is focused on making a real difference for young people. So student feedback is hugely valuable to us.
