Working in collaboration with our stakeholders

Our Business Breakfasts, coffee mornings, open days and student enterprise days are a way of developing professional relationships with our stakeholders. Our CEIAG Lead has developed a bespoke forestry curriculum with the Mersey Forest Team, which embraces the local Labour Market Information. The CEIAG Lead is also member of the Mersey Forest Advisory Group which recognises the importance of our expertise in SEND/inclusivity to their Strategic Planning, allowing for the sustainable development of student work placements/supported internships and potential countryside management/ecological jobs.

We collaborate with our Liverpool City Regional Hub Business Enterprise Coordinator to review and develop the careers programme.
Gallifords supported our Social Media Group enabling students to learn about the construction industry and also offered a work placement to one student who was keen to watch the development of a local school through regular site visits.
This group also released a vlog about the needs of autistic employees but staff also provide bespoke therapy and educational training for all community stakeholders.

Another well-established community partnership with Earlestown Cricket Club involves the joint development of the club grounds and a sensory garden that has proved popular in maintaining community well-being. Students have developed raised beds as part of a joint market gardening project to grow vegetables for the food bank. Club members utilize their expertise to support construction and horticultural work and are conversant with communication aids such as Proloquo2Go and Makaton.
