Eligibility
The Linking with Schools Award is open to local businesses that have worked with either a Middle or Secondary School, who have a BH/DT postcode or are based in Dorset.
This Award can be entered by either the school or the business.
Description of Award from the Sponsors
An award to the business that has established a positive partnership with a local school. Both the winning school and winning business will be presented with a Dorset Business Award.
Entry criteria
We would require each entry to be supported by the partnership school.
We will be looking for a business that has established an ongoing positive relationship with a school (including a middle school) in Dorset, Bournemouth or Poole. This might take the form of regular work-experience, company visit, project work, mentoring or apprenticeships.
However, a business that has established a commercial relationship with a school that represents the main activity of the business would not be eligible for this award.
