Supporting high quality teaching

Your input into classes will ensure that teachers can share up to date knowledge, and gives you the opportunity to shape the skills being taught around your business needs. You could help design a course or support a student project, give teachers the opportunity to find out about current industry practice by hosting a site visit, teach a masterclass yourself, or even donate some equipment or workshop time for students.

Contributing facilities or specialist equipment

Schools and colleges may not have access to industry-standard equipment on site. Employers can help by donating or loaning equipment including machinery, tools, computer hardware and software or workshop items. Alternatively, you may wish to consider providing occasional access to your premises where possible. Some colleges also host manufacturers’ equipment, enabling local companies to view demonstrations on their sites.
