Employers recognise the important role schools play in shaping the career aspirations of students. So that schools have the latest information on student careers, whether for apprentice or university pathways, we have waived the ISE membership fee. 

Member benefits include:

  • Annual reports – Free access to unique and industry leading data collected from our members. We produce two main surveys annually, based around recruitment and development – The Student Recruitment Survey and The Development Survey. We also create hot topic surveys and papers which most recently saw us make our recommendations for improving the apprenticeship system.
  • ISE data and resources – Your organisation will gain access to our online resources such as our recruitment and development dashboards.
  • ISE Conferences – Our members get reduced ticket prices as well as being eligible to showcase and enter the awards. The Apprenticeships Conference is of particular value to our School Members. 
  • Career Fairs Listing – Free advertisement of your career fairs on the ISE website for over 300 employers to see. This is a great opportunity to increase the number of employers booking a stand at the event, providing a more comprehensive experience for students. 
  • Webinars - Free webinars to keep you up to date with such topics as social mobility and the Apprenticeships Levy.
  • E-news - A free subscription to the ISE’s weekly digital newsletters; ISE Insights which delivers fortnightly opinion, research and case study articles based on your preferences; and ISE Engage to keep you up to date with the latest events, membership news and engagement opportunities. 

 

ISE membership is free for schools

This membership category is ‘digital’ so school members will receive digital copies of our reports and publications but not hard copies. 

Schools will be able to attend our online events. However, due to venues’ capacity limitations, will not be entitled to attend free events held at a physical location.

See our full Terms and Conditions for more information.

What Our Members Say...

  • I have been an ISE member for 14 years, since I first joined Shoosmiths, and it has been invaluable in supporting my career. What I value most is the opportunity to connect with a network of like-minded professionals.

    Samantha Hope, Emerging Talent Manager, Shoosmiths

  • The annual ISE Student Development Survey and Student Recruitment Survey are essential resources. They offer invaluable insights into hiring practices, critical skills delivery, and salary assessments. The unbiased information from these surveys allows us to stay informed about industry trends, and helps us remain relevant and competitive.

    Hannah Tupper, Early Careers Programme Manager, Schroders Plc

  • The ISE has evolved to ensure that employers receive support and guidance on all things early careers related. The regular comms provide key insights into sector developments and the conferences offer a fantastic opportunity to share best practice and to grow your network. Over the years there have also been some great opportunities to get involved with interesting projects that can help to shape the future of the early careers sector.

    Andrew Bargery, Talent Engagement Senior Manager, PwC

  • The ISE has been part of my working life for as long as I can remember and I honestly couldn’t do my job without the insights, research and network that it provides me. In particular the annual surveys are so instrumental to driving forward my organisation’s Future Talent strategy.

    Karen Luckly-Tang, Head of Future Talent, Legal & General

  • We have been members of the ISE for almost 3 years. The insights, research and toolkits have helped me build Early Careers at Novuna, a function that did not exist prior to this. The standout element for me is the network that you become a part of, having access to a wealth of knowledge from a variety of experts in this space. It has also given me development opportunities by being part of working groups.

    Gemma Fowle, Early Careers Manager, Novuna

  • I cannot emphasise the value of being an ISE member enough. Being able to bring in external benchmarking, ideas and solutions from my peers has been a real help consistently at various stages throughout my career.  As I have recruited and onboarded more junior team members I’ve been able to rely on ISE’s events, research and network to support me in upskilling them also and to access technical skills training that they wouldn’t have access to otherwise.

    Sarah Thomas, Head of Early Careers Programmes, St. James's Place Wealth Management
