The Black Country LEP recognises the importance of business engagement with schools.
The world of work and business is changing at an incredible pace with new technology defining many job roles that previously never existed and other roles disappearing all together. Enabling businesses to work alongside and with schools helps to ensure that both teachers and pupils have a better understanding of current and future job roles across the full range of sectors in the Black Country supported by a range of supporting resources.
The Black Country Skills Factory works to link Business and schools in the delivery of programmes co-funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company. These programmes look to improve the careers provision in school by accelerating the achievement of the 8 Gatsby benchmarks (what ‘good’ looks like in Careers Education in Schools).
Schools engagement is a vital strand to the Skills Factory
Under the following 3 aims, the Skills Factory aims to change young peoples and employers perceptions of the workplace.
We aim to increase the number of encounters young people have with the world of work
We strive to enhance a young persons employability
We will provide schools with local labour market information to support curriculum delivery and development
