Our Programmes
Our programmes give Tees Valley students the chance to engage directly with employers, increase understanding of career opportunities, improve skills and raise aspirations. These inspiring, interactive and in person placements directly connect young people with employers from a diverse range of industries and sectors; connecting the curriculum with careers, opening the door to career opportunities and providing a glimpse into a diverse range of businesses across the Tees Valley.
Our programmes also have a key focus on life skills, changing attitudes, developing networks and building ambitions. They are designed to align with the local LEP sector skills strategy and deliver ‘meaningful’ career experiences required by the national careers framework the Gatsby Benchmarks
