• Provide a real business context to support teaching and learning
• Support a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy
• Inform Education about the requirements and expectation of business
• Make young people aware of the skills, career opportunities, attitudes and sectors relevant to a business
• Find out more about, and influence current developments in education and training
• Market to schools, students and teachers and other professionals involved
• Raise the company profile within the community
