We've prepared a series of materials and presentations for anyone who wishes to visit their local school or college to talk about HR and L&D.
We've all heard the same saying; people fall into HR, they don’t choose it. But we believe HR can be a hugely rewarding career, and young people deserve to be well informed about the full range of choices they have when choosing their options.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to give back to your local community, consider speaking to your local school about opportunities in HR. Share your story and open their eyes to a career they may have never even considered before.
If you'd like us to deliver any of the materials on this page to an event, please email careersupport@cipd.co.uk.
