Creating successful links between business and education
We can help you to set up and manage work related learning opportunities for children and young people so that they learn more about the world of work. We work with primary schools, secondary schools and colleges and we have a large database of 7000+ live companies who support schools and colleges in various ways.
Our experienced team can identify and advise senior staff within your institution if there is a need to train staff or review your work related learning plan.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)
We organise a range of STEM activities in primary and secondary schools aimed at inspiring and motivating children and young people to understand the relevance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects in the work place. We hold the STEMNET contract for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes which allows us to manage the STEM Ambassador schemes for these areas.
Teacher Placement Programme
We can arrange a professional development opportunity for you in a local business/organisation, so that you can see first hand practice which you can take back to the classroom. This might help you to develop new resources, set a project brief or improve knowledge on a speciifc sector.
