Schools need business help, says charity
MORE businesses must support head teachers to develop staff leadership skills if they are to produce the workforce of the future, the business charity Business in the Community told a conference hosted by Goldman Sachs yesterday.
Goldman Sachs International co-CEO Michael Sherwood said his bank was pleased to offer its support as a national champion of the charity’s Business Class initiative, which brings business and schools together.
“We recognise the importance of developing a skills system able to respond to the needs of individuals, communities and a dynamic – and changing – economy,” he said. “I know I speak on behalf of everyone involved when I say that we take our responsibility for making ‘Business Class’ a resounding – and ongoing – success very seriously.”
