Employer Engagement Project (EEP)
Current visits by employers, though welcome, often interrupt the flow of GCSE lessons or take part in the non-academic part of the curriculum. This project looks to change that. The aim of the Employer Engagement Project is that pupils will be able to understand how what is learned in the classroom is relevant to the world of work which helps to engage and focus young people in the subject.
Duration: 1 hour sessions (this project is funded by The Hearn Foundation)
Method: In Person or Virtual
Year Group(s): Year 9 to 11
Gatsby Benchmarks: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
CDI Framework: Grow, Explore, Create.
Room Requirements: Classroom based.
The Employer Engagement Project:
Post session 98% of students said they understand the relevance of properties of matter and energy and how it can be used in the work place.
Post session 96% of students said they understand the relevance of algebra and how it can be used in the work place.
“I really appreciated the opportunity to demonstrate to the students, using a real practical application, how we use algebra every day when designing new products to ensure they are safe and efficient. I hope this helped them see its importance and the influence it can have on our everyday lives. It was great to feel the students positive engagement despite it being a virtual session.”
Mike Kingham, Eaton.
“The questions were of an appropriate difficulty for the pupils. One of my pupils said – “I’ll definitely be googling BOC later to find out some more.”
