Partners
With our heritage, knowledge and diverse team that includes ex-teachers and industry professionals, we support our partners to achieve their objectives for STEM outreach, with a tailored offer to suit all sizes, scales and budgets.
What we deliver
Partners can support an existing EDT-delivered programme accredited through Industrial Cadets, accredit their own outreach activity using the Industrial Cadets framework or work with our dedicated content development team to create new bespoke programmes.
IC Accreditation
Industrial Cadets is a widely recognised award scheme increasing diversity and inspiring young people through industry-based experiences to become part of the workforce of the future. We invite employers across the industry to use our Industrial Cadets accreditation as a quality benchmark for outreach and education programmes to build pathways for students from education to employment.
Benefits
Whichever way you choose to work with us, our partnerships provide a range of benefits for industry partners. From increasing the number and diversity of those entering the sector, addressing the skills gap and transforming outreach opportunities to support students and employees with development.
Be a mentor
We have a number of voluntary mentor opportunities available, all of which support our students during their Industrial Cadets journey.
Mentors offer their knowledge, expertise and years of experience to take the project outside of the classroom and into the world of work. Our mentors are not only positive role models for young people but also act as a vital source of friendly guidance. With help from school teachers, we ask mentors to offer support and advice throughout a student’s project.
