Our Customized Employee Engagement program fosters cooperation and leadership through our unique team-based approach

 

We work with more than 8,000 volunteers from over 2,000 employers large and small. Our employers are from the public, private and voluntary sectors and include major multinationals.

 

 

And it’s not just the students who benefit.

Employers report that engaging with a Neugene Academy enhances staff development and demonstrates

their corporate values.

 



Some volunteers have a long history of working in business; others have just graduated from university. All enjoy the company of young people and genuinely want to support and guide them by sharing their knowledge and experience.

 

Within an overarching Neugene Academy framework, we work flexibly with each employer to best meet the needs of their particular business and local community. For example, you or your colleagues might like to:

• mentor a student
• speak to a group of young people in their classroom
• host a tour of your workplace
• provide an internship placement
• join a Neugene Academy Local Advisory Board in your community
• host a reunion for our Neugene Academy Network of graduates.

 

Some supporting employers offer one volunteer for just a couple of hours a year, while others embed the programme company-wide.

 

 

"Being involved with the Neugene Volunteer Programme underlines our commitment to supporting communities across the continent. This programme not only helps us to identify potential talented employees of the future but also contributes to our corporate responsibility agenda."
