Youth project for young people in both France and Hawkinge. Both groups run sessions concurrently and culminate in a week of exchanges in April, providing young people the oppotunity to observe each others learning and to develop relationships for future work. Please call for more information.

The way young people learn about the world of work has changed. Students at key stage 4 are entitled to a programme of activities to help develop the skills and knowledge employers are looking for, to learn from contact with people from the world of work, find out about business and relate abilities and achievements to help make the best choices for the future. The Education Business Partnerships work with schools to help achieve this.

Enterprise Gateways are a Business Link service, strategically based across the South East to assist people wanting to start up their own business or start working for themselves, but who need a bit of extra help.

Led and organised by business people, a scheme for bringing entrepreneurs and owners of small and micro businesses face to face with schools, colleges, universities, teachers, tutors, and students.

Successful economies are underpinned by a strong supply of people with a range of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) qualifications, working across a range of spheres. A STEM literate population is crucial too. STEMNET works with a range of partner organisations, including government, industry, professional institutions, education and other major companies, to ensure that the UK has both of these.

Science and Engineering Ambassadors The Science and Engineering Ambassadors (SEAs) Programme is STEMNET’s flagship programme. Ambassadors are individuals from a wide variety of STEM backgrounds, from all across the UK, who offer their time, enthusiasm and expertise to help schools inspire young people. Ambassadors come from a broad spectrum of STEM disciplines and careers at all levels. Their jobs range from marine biologists to mathematicians studying climate change, aeronautical engineering apprentices to medical physicists and industrial chemists to electrical engineers, to lab technicians, to name but a few! They represent over 1000 different employers, from large multi-nationals to SMEs and other organisations like the NHS, and the Environment Agency. Many SEAs are also undergraduates, studying at universities across the UK. These individuals act as invaluable role models to students, through the work they do in schools.

SETPOINTs are hosted by specially selected organisations skilled in facilitating links between education and the wider STEM community and working with other STEM partners. Hosted by a diverse range of organisations, operating at a local level, SETPOINTs can provide access to high quality meaningful activities and schemes for students and schools.
