Schools and Colleges
Our programmes provide unique and life-enriching experiences that help young people engage with employers, increase understanding of career opportunities, improve skills and raise aspirations.
Linking the curriculum with careers, these initiatives are open to all schools and colleges in the Tees Valley and are designed to integrate easily into stable and structured careers programmes in-line with the national Gatsby careers framework. They’re also simple to plan and manage through our online platform and are delivered completely free of charge.
Alongside workplace-based activities, we offer a range of tailored virtual experiences and online career insights, delivered in partnership with Speakers for Schools. These inspiring and interactive placements connect the classroom with business; opening the door to opportunities and providing a glimpse into a wide range of industries and sectors.
