Cutlers' " Made in Sheffield" Ambassadors Programme!

I had a great meeting today with John Barber, from B&E South Yorkshire, and Nick Duggan and Simon Baddeley, from Sheffield's 14 - 19 team, finalising the details of the Cutlers' " Made in Sheffield" Ambassadors Programme!  

This brilliant programme is designed to help the Cutlers' schools deliver the Cutlers' " Made in Sheffield" skills: character, core skills and higher level skills. The higher level skills are focused around a plan, do, review cycle ( planning and exploring, organising and implementing and reviewing and learning) and focus on critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork.  The real difference in the approach we are developing is that the whole project has been developed with Sheffield employers and the Sheffield colleges who are committed to working with the Cutlers' schools to create employable, ready for work young people with a passion for science, technology, engineering and maths ! We are also building links and learning pathways with the new UTC (University Technical College) which will open in September 2013! Exciting times!
