To enable a sustainable built environment, we must engage the future of it
The School wants to help bridge the gap between industry and education.
Our model has been proven to work for thousands of businesses, and in 2023, we opened up to education providers and started to bring in Future Workforce Partners.
This will enable us to help colleges, training providers and universities across the UK deliver employer-led learning and benefit from industry connection. It will also allow us to help students and teachers access the same learning that industry does, not only for delivery, but to improve the running of their estates, services and business.
This will also bring huge benefits to our industry partners; enabling them to connect with education in an impactful way, embed skills and training they require, recruit and deliver long-lasting social value.
