Supporting the curriculum

By helping to shape the curriculum, employers can bring education alive to students by relating it to the real world.

There are a number of ways in which employers can help to shape the curriculum - in primary schools, secondary schools and colleges. From helping children with their reading to developing learning materials with teachers, employers and employees can have direct involvement in students' learning.

Here are the main methods by which employers can help to shape the curriculum for students:

• Supporting STEM subjects
• Literacy and numeracy support
• Diploma support
• Supporting languages
• Developing learning materials
• Supporting careers information, advice and guidance
