The charity Education and Employers Taskforce has launched a national campaign for private and public sector business leaders to visit state schools and colleges to help young people ages 5-19 shape their motivation, skills, achievement and employability.

The Visit our Schools week, which takes place between 18 and 22 October, is free and requires one or two hours in the week to visit a school/college in a locality. Business leaders are matched with a local school or college.
