A skills shortage in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) based professions affects the UK energy and utilities industry. enthuse is an education and work related activity day that seeks to inspire pupils to consider a STEM career. Strategically focused on students considering their GCSE options, enthuse gives students the chance to be engineers or scientists for the day and develops teamwork and problem solving skills.

npower’s investment:
£57,550 cash, £10,500 employee time

Project Achievements:

During 2007 enthuse was delivered to 2025 students across the UK utilising 90 npower employee volunteers. enthuse events invest in the workforce of the future which has a direct positive effect on the whole local community.

LBG : Corporate Citizenship : Community Partners

Community Partners

LBG for Community Partners has been developed to help community organisations understand the LBG model and why companies use it.

By attending a workshop, community organisations will gain a greater understanding of the business need to monitor, measure and report back more fully on leverage, other outputs and impacts.

A key aim of the workshops is to improve the dialogue between LBG corporate members and community partners.

‘The LBG for Community Partners workshop was really valuable. To have the LBG model explained by someone independent added real weight and credibility. A number of the community partners really grasped the opportunity to understand the model. It was great that they could value, discuss and question how the model works.’ Rose Gardner, Head of Community Investment, npower

There are two types of workshop, please click on the links below for more information on each type.
