Enterprise Co-ordinators help schools to plan
careers strategies and develop their careers plans. They also
establish relationships with volunteers from business, known as
Enterprise Advisors who support the schools on their careers
strategies but also support with careers
interventions in schools.
Doncaster has two Enterprise Coordinators, based on the number of
secondary schools in the borough. They are match funded by the
Careers and Enterprise Company, who have a
responsibility for supporting schools in delivering high quality
careers advice and guidance.
These two posts currently sit in Doncaster Chamber of Commerce, the
decision to base them there was taken as the Chamber have been
developing linkages with businesses and schools on the
Council’s behalf.
This move would give the Enterprise Coordinators the opportunity to
make links within the Council and share best practice. The Council
would gain additional knowledge, expertise and capacity by directly
employing the Enterprise Coordinators.
We propose the transfer of staff take place as quickly as possible,
which is likely to mean in
September 21.
