The Cheshire and Warrington Pledge Partnership is unique to the region and is currently fully funded for 2022/23. This means all involvement is free, and employers, further and higher education providers and youth organisations can take part in as much or as little as they want. The Pledge Partnership are particularly keen to support SMEs.
The Pledge Partnership is split into 7 Pledge Areas to ensure young people capitalise on opportunities on their doorstep. However, there are opportunities to work within your local Pledge area or across the region. Being part of The Pledge Partnership you will join a network of over 400 employers, all state-funded secondary schools and colleges, most special and alternative provision schools, all local authorities and youth and community groups.
See our Pledge Core Offer for Employers for a summary of our package of support.
