Growing Ambitions (a social enterprise with an assets lock) offers a sponsor the opportunity to put their brand before every workplace in the UK. Growing Ambitions is the UK's first national online database of careers speakers for education. Every workplace in the UK is being targeted to encourage their workforce to give Careers talks in their local area. Through www.growingambitions.org people in the workplace inspire great career ideas in young people they reach, and so make a valuable and real difference to young lives. Careers advisers book Speakers through this site for young people in Year 9 upwards. Branding for the lead Corporate Sponsor will reach every kind of workplace throughout the UK: the professions; commerce; banking; industry; trades; academia; sport; leisure; the armed forces and many more. Five groups in particular benefit from Growing Ambitions.      Business: Growing Ambitions is a useful, zero-cost staff development tool; it is also a valuable addition to any CSR programme and generates positive PR. Growing Ambitions allows employers to help raise local skills levels in the medium and longer term, so expanding their recruiting pool.     Working people: this is a great tool for those in careers that they enjoy to 'put something back' into their local communities; Growing Ambitions is equally attractive both to first-time and seasoned volunteers.    Subject leaders and careers education teachers and advisers: they have ready and easy access to enthusiastic local speakers at a click of the mouse.    Young people: they benefit from the inspiration that 'hearing it from the horse's mouth' brings - inspire ambition and you get application and better discipline.     Government: national objectives are furthered by encouraging more young people into university and vocational training. Apart from the lead Corporate Sponsor opportunity, Growing Ambitions invites other organisations to use the service for their own CSR programmes, and to consider funding the extensive PR and e-marketing campaigns, and so benefit from brand exposure. Campaigns across all media encourage speakers from over 500 career types, in every town in the UK, to volunteer just four half-hour speaking slots a year. With PR campaigns planned to target every workplace in the country, Growing Ambitions is highly attractive to any organisation wishing to raise its profile to UK business and the wider community, and to be seen to be helping to develop the potential of our young people. Contact: Sally Davis, Managing Director. Tel.: 023 9266 1600 or via email through the website.

Many sectors need an effective means of encouraging entry into their sector and, in this, Growing Ambitions has a valuable role to play. This sponsorship is part in-kind and part financial.
