Somerset Education Business Partnership – Connecting education and employment

Who they are.
The Somerset Education Business Partnership (Somerset EBP) works to connect employers with schools, colleges, and training providers, helping young people develop the skills and experience they need for the world of work. They coordinate work experience placements, employer talks, and career-focused activities that benefit both students and businesses across Somerset.

What the website does.
We built a clear, accessible website that serves two audiences — employers who want to get involved, and educators looking for opportunities for their students. The site outlines available programmes, explains how to take part, and provides practical resources to support career learning.

Easy for the team to update.
Powered by our KIT CMS, the platform allows Somerset EBP to add new opportunities, update partner details, and publish news without technical support. Structured content areas make it easy to highlight events, success stories, and employer case studies.

Encouraging engagement.
Clear calls-to-action guide employers to pledge support or list opportunities, while educators can quickly find resources and signposting to connect students with local industry.

Accessible and mobile-friendly.
The site is fully responsive, designed to work seamlessly on mobile devices for busy employers, educators, and students alike. It also meets accessibility standards to ensure all users can engage with the content.

The result is a website that reflects Somerset EBP’s mission — making it simple for education and business to work together to inspire and prepare Somerset’s future workforce.
