For Industry and Partners

Put your people and expertise where they can open doors.

Help young people see the people behind technology and gain practical experiences that make future careers feel reachable.

The difference partners can make

Turn industry access into possibility

Make careers visible

Introduce young people to the real people, choices and experiences behind different technology roles.

Bring learning to life

Connect classroom ideas with practical challenges, products, workplaces and real-world problems.

Broaden access

Help schools and communities reach experiences, expertise and resources that may otherwise feel out of reach.

Build something that continues

Create relationships and next steps that can grow beyond a single encounter.

Ways to contribute

Bring what your organisation does best

Partnership pathway

More than a one-off visit

We aim to build relationships that connect industry knowledge with the priorities of schools, colleges and communities.

1

Connect

Understand your expertise, interests and the settings you want to support.

2

Create

Shape useful encounters and activities around learner needs and programme goals.

3

Continue

Review what worked and identify realistic opportunities to build on it.

Who can participate

Different organisations. Shared possibility.

Technology companies

Share roles, products, expertise and the people building what comes next.

Employers from every sector

Show how AI, data and digital skills are changing work beyond the traditional technology industry.

Universities and training providers

Help learners understand progression routes, research, qualifications and emerging fields.

Community and professional networks

Extend representation, local connections and access to different career journeys.

Public-sector organisations

Connect technology, public service, infrastructure and community impact.

People, not just logos

Let young people meet the people behind the work

A logo cannot answer a pupil's question. Your people can.

Tell the real story

Share the turns, setbacks and decisions behind a career—not only the polished destination.

Make it practical

Help young people test an idea, solve a problem or understand how a role works.

Make it relatable

Offer a range of voices and routes so more young people can recognise a possible place for themselves.

Responsible partnership

Designed around young people and schools

Activities are planned with age, context and accessibility in mind.
Schools retain appropriate supervision and safeguarding responsibilities.
Volunteers receive clear expectations before participating.
Public speaker profiles, photographs and videos require approval.
No direct collection of pupil contact information.
Commercial promotion must not overtake educational value.

What we plan to learn

Understand what the partnership makes possible

Schools and learners reached.
Encounters and practical activities delivered.
Learner confidence and career awareness.
Teacher feedback.
Pupil ideas or projects produced.
Partner participation and volunteering.
Follow-up commitments or next steps.

Measures are selected to suit the activity. We do not claim long-term career outcomes from a single encounter.
