Kids' College Opportunities
Could you share your expertise to inspire primary school children? We need employees to help children increase their literacy and numeracy and gain a broader understanding of the world of work.
Could you listen to primary school children read?
‘Seeing the enthusiasm from the pupils and being able to share our interests with them was highly rewarding! ’
