News: Building Blocks for the Future with Rotherham Ready

Rotherham Ready is offering a free new training opportunity for local companies and staff to bring their business into the classroom and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Building Blocks for the Future is an innovative one-day training session developed by Rotherham Ready, the UK's leading enterprise project, which explores the skills and techniques needed to bring local businesses and the expertise of staff into classrooms across Rotherham.

From early years to Further Education students, this training model will help entrepreneurs and businesses unpick the keys to success in working with young people and developing their enterprise skills.

Rotherham schools and students are eager to learn the inside story on how to work in industry, exploring the ever-changing world of work and the job roles available and so with this training, Rotherham businesses can learn how to effectively share their backgrounds and expertise, which are priceless to our future generations, and leave the day equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver innovative and effective sessions with students.

The event is the first of its kind and will look at how to deliver effective presentations in the classroom and what makes a positive workshop experience.

Tailored to individual needs, every delegate will complete the day with a template of a workshop they would feel comfortable to deliver as well as key notes on how to deliver an exciting and interactive presentation.

The event takes place on May 14 from 9am to 3.30pm at RiDO's Fusion @ Magna business centre. To book your place, please email: Rebecca.mollart@rotherham.gov.uk

Since April the European Regional Development Fund has supported Rotherham Ready to develop training models and resources that embed enterprise in education.
