What we do


We work with:

We work with businesses to develop their plans in approaching and then engaging with schools. We help schools in developing leadership. We are also working together with schools to help plan for the new 14-19 diplomas. Our aim is to create learning communities in order that schools engage fully with their local and business communities, and therefore students have a better understanding of life in employment. We have links with local authorities and help to develop their policies such as behaviour improvement, work related strategies, and building learning communities.
