Sell your skills to schools. Students need you!
More than ever schools and colleges are responding to the needs of their pupils and relating the curriculum to the world of work. Not only is this needed to motivate and engage pupils, it is widely accepted that pupils are leaving school without the work related practical skills and know how. However, where do teachers and educators find all the experts they need? A few hours on the internet would provide some information or they could try a search on School Providers and find hundreds of businesses that provide a service to schools. How does this open up plenty of opportunities for small businesses?
Local businesses should now ask themselves if they can sell their skills to educational establishments. Do you have a business or skill needed by teachers and their pupils? DJs, chefs, beauticians, dancers, actors, authors, magicians and journalists are examples of skills that students need and require. Can you set up school workshops using your drama, dance and public speaking skills? Take a look at the new diplomas that cover a vast array of specialist skills and start selling your expertise. Can you offer a set of resources to compliment your provision? If you have a particular life experience that you can talk about, you could become a school guest speaker and share your experiences.
