Employers will be briefed in advance to ensure these encounters are meaningful and full training and support will be provided before and during the event from the Opportunities Doncaster team. It is important to note, that each young person for this activity will need access to their own computer to login individually or in pairs. Remo enables students to visit virtual stands, and undertake meaningful conversations with employers from a variety of sectors. These will be facilitated using our online careers platform Remo. How will virtual activities be delivered? We have been working to develop virtual alternatives which ensure that any engagement with an employer is meaningful. Opportunities Doncaster have been working with the Careers & Enterprise Company to ensure activities that were cancelled are able to go ahead this academic year. We have carefully considered the virtual alternatives which we would like to make available to your school and students as well as the support we will be putting in place to ensure business volunteers are ready to engage in this way.ĭue to Covid-19, a number of virtual wallet funded activities were cancelled last academic year. We will continue to review this decision in line with government guidance and keep you informed of any changes to this policy.


In the interest of your students' safety and the safety of our employer volunteers, we have made the decision that all of our delivery before January 2021 will be delivered via virtual means. At Opportunities Doncaster, we are keen to continue bringing businesses and young people together for face to face meaningful encounters, but we also recognise the growing need for virtual delivery.
