Connecting classrooms with careers across the Tees Valley.

All of our programmes are delivered completely free of charge to schools and colleges across the Tees Valley. This is only possible thanks to generous individual donations, corporate fundraising and the commitment of our business members. Every penny donated helps young people in our region engage with employers, understand the world of work, improve personal skills and raise aspirations.
