Welcome to Bolton & Bury Education Business Partnership 

Bolton & Bury Education Business Partnership is committed to supporting young people to become the workforce of tomorrow.  It is our role to link employers with schools and colleges and create mutually beneficial opportunities.  Through links with employers Bolton & Bury EBP deliver high quality Work Experience, Mentoring, Professional Development, Enterprise Challenges, Student Conferences and support with Employer Engagement across the curriculum.

As one of the first 50 organisation in the country to achieve the Award for Education Business Excellence, Bolton & Bury EBP are proud of our achievements and pleased that formal recognition has been given to all our work.  Accreditation for this award is through the Institute for Education Business Excellence and all staff at the EBP are members of this body.  This demonstrates our commitment to quality and excellence. 

As a creative and innovative team we will also continue to develop new initiatives, alternative funding streams and move further towards becoming a sustainable social enterprise serving the communities of Bury and Bolton. In order to achieve this vision the EBP plans to work with local businesses to establish enterprise initiatives and projects in the creative and technology sectors.

The current economic climate has affected us, as a small business, like many others, but it has also highlighted the need to support local communities and young people, providing the right mix of skills and experience to help in times of uncertainty. Enterprise Learning is high up our agenda, with the strong belief that young people need enterprising attitudes and we continue to work with a number of schools to deliver Enterprise across the curriculum.

All of our work relies on businesses, large and small. Even in these uncertain times local employers are very supportive of programmes from work experience to workplace visits, teacher development to curriculum design. It is this input from employers that makes learning real, that engages young people with the world of work and future opportunities.

Many thanks to all our supporters and to the employers who provide so much for young people in our local communities.
