So what exactly is The Times 100?

The Times 100 is an annual collection of corporate case studies specifically designed to help you talk to young people. Now in its 13th year, we have already helped over 200 of the UK's premier organisations build their employer brand amongst 14-21 year olds.

Unsurprisingly, companies are eager to pay to communicate with potential employees. As a result, we can supply the pack free of charge to all 5,600 secondary schools, colleges and universities across the UK. And in every edition, a select number of businesses commission their own unique case study to convey their individual message. The comprehensive individual feedback supplied to every participant - and the companies who return year after year - is proof of the resource's value. As such, The Times 100 offers an outstanding return on investment.
