How will sixth formers benefit?
They will have real influence on the decisions made by senior management as well as:
- see inside the workings of a major business
- meet other like-minded sixth formers from around the region
- get a formal reference for use in UCAS or apprenticeship applications
- get a £100 reward for taking part.
What’s involved?
The Youth Board will attend board meetings on two occasions, Monday 29th
January 2018 and Monday 19th March 2018, at Bristol Water’s
headquarters in Bristol. The meetings will start at 10am so applicants need to
be able to get to Bristol for this time. We will reimburse individuals
for all travel expenses to board meetings. The meetings will finish at
approximately 4pm and will include a mix of briefings from senior executives
about the business and the challenges it faces, and facilitated problem-solving
exercises.
The Youth Board will be given real issues to think about and
will work in teams to come up with solutions. Between the two board
meetings, members will prepare for team presentations at the second meeting,
and also complete a number of online tasks.
Who should apply? We would expect sixth formers to be one or more of the following:
