DEBP
DEBP (Direct Education Business Partnership) specialises in supporting the aspirational decision-making of young people and adults to shape their future. The team strives to help people fulfil their potential and believes everyone deserves an equal chance of success.
They work with young people up to the age of 19 (or 30 for those with special educational needs and disabilities – SEND) and vulnerable young adults.
DEBP delivers a range of career-related programmes. Employer support is fundamental. This ensures young people are aware of the opportunities available and the skills employers value and look for. It keeps them aware of the changing employment landscape around them.
Clare Talati, Managing Director, said: “We are proud to be Chesterfield Champions and support lots of local initiatives. Many team members are from Chesterfield and the surrounding areas and are proud of where they live and work. Although we work much further afield too, Chesterfield is our base and provides a central location to our work.”
They are also a partner of Made in Chesterfield, which aims to introduce young people to careers in manufacturing, engineering, science, and technology industries. DEBP has been involved in the initiative since 2014 – helping to inspire the next generation.
