MStudent Employer Encounters

OUR MISSION &

GOALSFounders4Schools’ mission as a charity is

to improve society by increasing youth

employability

We do this by ensuring that young people

have at least four encounters with

employers each year while they are

between the age of 8 and 16 and 140 hours

of work experience placements between the

age of 16 and 24

The following values are firmly embedded in

the charity and guide us in everything that we

do:

➤ Scale: we measure our achievements by the

extent they work for our customers

➤ Collaborative : We achieve impact by working

collaboratively with customers & partners

➤ Achieve: we set and achieve our goals in

relation to our customer needs

➤ Leadership: We lead by example

➤ Execution: We commit to doing what we say

when we say how we say
