Careers Hub

Join the hundreds of businesses already signed up to the Shout Out Portal and support ad-hoc careers events and activities. From attending careers fairs to hosting site visits, there are all kinds of ways you can make a difference. 

View requests for support from local schools / colleges or use the portal to upload an offer of your own. You can even set your preferences if you would like to support a specific local area or age group. 

Careers Business Champions are volunteers from any business who work closely with one or more schools to support on an operational level with projects, activities, or events. A commitment of one academic year would be required. 

All Careers Business Champions are registered on the Shout Out Portal and have the option to support with other ad hoc career requests from schools and colleges across the Tees Valley Careers Hub.  

You will have the opportunity to attend networking events, showcase best practice and connect with other employers. 

The Enterprise Adviser Network is a national initiative of the Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC). Nationally there are more than 3,000 Enterprise Advisers from a range of sectors. 

Using your valuable business experience and professional networks, you can help develop an effective careers plan that supports students to learn about the world of work and prepare for their futures. 

A commitment of one academic year with an average of four hours’ support each month is required.  

A Careers Coordinator at Tees Valley will match you with one or more schools within Tees Valley and support you with DBS checks, establishing a memorandum of understanding, and the induction process. 

You can also attend networking events locally and nationally, have access to resources and continuous professional (CPD) opportunities.
