Without a new Will in place, the Rules of Intestacy dictates who inherits your estate. Your surviving spouse will automatically receive up to the rst £270,000 of the estate, which may be what you wanted anyway. Or it may not. Make sure your Will is up to date by contacting Heritage Will Writing on 023 8087 9243 or email: info@heritagewillwriting.co.uk. Don’t Let Marriage Unintentionally Revoke Your Will by Heritage Will Writing e Solent Local EnterprisePartnership’s (LEP)Careers Hub are appealing to businesses and organisations across the region to o er work experience to school sta , including teachers, so that they can develop their knowledge and understanding of di erent industry sectors and career routes available to their students. Brooke Hoskins, LEP director and Skills Lead, said: “Deepening the relationship between classroom teachers and employers is critical for our region, as helping young people find their best next step from education into employment is a shared mission for teachers and business. Teachers can inspire young people about career paths through the relationships they build with their students and the curriculum they teach. Businesses can reach the next generation and help build the talent pipeline they need for success through working with teachers to ensure they are well versed in emerging trends in a fast-changing world.” e Solent LEP is working with the Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) to launch the Teacher Encounters Fund, which explores how to e ectively bring greater awareness of career pathways into mainstream education. e Solent LEP’s Careers Hub are calling on organisations in the Solent region to support this innovative collaboration. Employers are being asked to take part in as small or large way as possible, with encounters potentially varying from a one-o half day virtual connection, to hosting a one day/one week ‘work experience’. Bene ts for businesses who take part include increasing their own understanding of the everchanging educational landscape, linking careers to curriculum, and bringing relevance to their industry. Business will help to in uence school sta who, in turn, will better prepare students and enhance their awareness of skills and how these are relevant in business today. It will also help businesses to recognise some of the barriers to employment that young people o en experience and the challenges that schools, special schools and colleges face in making the workplace relevant to their pupils. Brooke Hoskins continues: “We need local employers to help make this happen, and in return we are committed to supporting them to develop a tailored offer that will enable them to develop stronger relationships with local schools and colleges. This type of relationship building will help to improve the impact and return on investment of their outreach, and helps to secure a future, knowledgeable and skilled workforce.” If any businesses or organisations in the Solent region would like to know more about the Teacher Engagement programme, please contact the Solent LEP Careers Hub team by emailing: careers@ solentlep.org.uk to arrange a phone call.
