Employers information

Ipswich Academy welcomes any prospective employers who would be willing to support our students with meaningful encounters in school.

Our students really benefit from being able to visit workplaces and being able to relate their careers learning in the classroom to real jobs.

There are many ways you can share your experience and help build our students’ knowledge of employability skills, the workplace, the labour market, job search skills and mentoring. At Ipswich Academy we have a range of activities you could join in with and we are always open to new ideas to help support our careers programmes.

Previous employer engagement events have included Business Breakfast, Careers Fair and Employer Spotlight.

If you would like to work with our school and inspire the next generation then please contact Victoria Addis via email victoria.addis@paradigmtrust.org or call 01473 550040.
