Connect To Success Employer Survey

The Business Consultancy Service (BCS) is to conduct a survey of the Connect to Success Portal.

The Portal is a central online system where employers can upload information about their school work experience (and apprenticeship) opportunities, and users, including young people, parents and career teachers, can search for and view these opportunities.

The brief survey, being conducted on behalf of the Department for the Economy (DfE), is aimed at employers who offer school work experience placements to help inform findings on the benefits of the Connect to Success Portal from a user/potential user perspective.

Participants will be asked to complete questions based on their awareness and use of the Portal or other alternative approaches they may have used in identifying and securing work experience.

BCS would also like to interview a small number of employers to discuss their responses to the survey in further detail. The voluntary interview will be brief and will take place during January/February 2019 by phone or face-to-face. If participants would be willing to meet with a BCS representative, contact details can be added at the end of the survey.

All survey results will be treated in confidence and DfE will only receive aggregated results, not individual returns.

Complete the survey

The deadline for completing the survey is Tuesday 5 February 2019.

The online Connect to Success survey can be completed here.
