Making learning, at all ages, relevant to the work place can increase student engagement, aspirations and attainment. It provides an opportunity for employers to work with educators to equip young people with the skills they are looking for preparing them for their future careers.
What's involved?
Work with local teachers, bringing your knowledge of your sector and the world of work and enabling teachers to link their curriculum content though classroom activities or projects. The benefits to learners can include increased engagement, better understanding of how subject content links to world of work, development of relevant skills, knowledge and improved attainment. Working with teachers is an effective way of shaping a learning experience for many young people.
