Employers 

Local businesses – we need your expertise! 

At Thomas Deacon Academy we are busy growing your employees of the future, but we need your help. With your active support, we can raise their career aspirations, develop their employability skills and learn more about the exciting industries in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. 

If you want to inspire our students, then please contact us at careerseducation@tda.education, and we’ll be in touch directly to talk about how you can make a difference in our school. 

Being part of our business support network will provide you with satisfaction, challenge, and opportunity. Having employers like you helping to inspire young minds and transform attitudes through a range of activities can make all the difference in the life of a young person. 

We work closely with the Careers and Enterprise Company Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Hub to support our engagement with the business community. You can find out more about how they support schools and employers at: -
