E4E Celebrates Local Student Success in 2021

Published: 30 November 2021

The Enterprise 4 Education (E4E) Derby City Raising Aspiration Awards arrive in December 2021 to celebrate the success and achievements of schools, employers and individuals in the local Derby area.

E4E is a Derby based partnership that links employers with students to present them with real world opportunities and valuable insight. E4E use their available resources to inform students of career opportunities as well as what they can do to improve existing skills or learn new ones. By engaging with employers, students can get a head start in what to expect from future careers, interviews and what skills may be looked for as they leave education.

The awards are open to Derby City students in school years 7 to 13. The event presents the opportunity to celebrate the determination and hard work that goes into the student’s individual achievements regardless of their background. With 9 award categories available, E4E are prepared to celebrate the many achievements of local students.
