Employer Testimonials
"Employers and schools are working together to provide young people with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. We at Virgin Money are so proud that we’ve pledged to the Cardiff Commitment and are very keen to share all the opportunities that we have. Yes, we’re a bank but we’re also so much more! Qualifications are really important but so is experience. At the moment we’re more than happy to provide careers talks & school visits and when it’s safe to do so we can offer a whole lot more. We really want to be part of making a real difference to young people’s lives."
"The Cardiff commitment reaches many schools in and around South Wales, it’s so important to provide students with exposure to what jobs, companies and opportunities are out there. Wales need to be able to compete on the world stage by working with a variety of Industries and hopefully inspiring the youth of today."
