Giving youngsters a platform with Speakers Trust

SpeakersTrust

English Speaking Board (International) Ltd. and Speakers Trust today announced a partnership based on their shared aims of raising a learner’s confidence and unlocking their potential by developing and enhancing their oral communications skills.

As part of their new partnership, ESB will create a qualification to support Speakers Trust public speaking courses, which will be added to ESB’s suite of speech products.

In addition, material from a number of Speakers Trust programs with young people will be endorsed by ESB. This will allow the ESB brand to be marketed to a wider demographic of state schools in London and the South East who have participated in Speakers Trust workshops. ESB Chief Executive, Tina Renshaw, will be part of the judging panel for the Grand Final of the Speakers Trust’s Jack Petchey “Speak Out” Challenge! in London in July.

Said Tina:

Our partnership with Speakers Trust is an exciting development. Both charitable organisations share similar visions of raising achievement and providing enrichment for its learners. It is a natural fit for both of us and I sincerely believe our partnership will offer more opportunities for our learners to develop their confidence and become better communicators.

Speakers Trust Chief Executive, Julie Holness, said:

Speakers Trust and the English Speaking Board share a commitment to developing articulate young men and women who will speak out, inspire and make their mark in the world. We are proud and delighted to be working in partnership to bring all the benefits of public speaking training and flexible qualifications to an even wider audience.
