Industrial Encounters: Good Practice for School Links

Comments (0)

From CIEC Promoting Science, this guide aims to help schools and science-based companies make the best use of their opportunities to liaise together. It concentrates upon using link activities to enrich aspects of the school science curriculum but there are many principles in the guide, with a more general application.

There is extensive coverage of a range of topics and these include:
• Site visits
• Work experience
• Teacher secondment
• Competitions
• Careers conventions and evenings
• Mock interviews
• Financial support
• Enterprise schemes
• Agencies who may help to set up links
• Industry days
• Lectures and presentations
• Industrialists in the classroom
