How can you help
If you are an employer that will be recruiting people with skills in digital, technical, science, engineering, logistical or anything else STEM, get in touch.
We Build Bridges CIC can introduce you to a school and work with you to enable you to build your skills pipeline.
What does We Build Bridges CIC do for and with schools and employers
We meet an employer
to listen and learnWe ask about what job roles the organisation has now and is planning for in the future, what skills they need, what time they can give to a school and how far they can travel.
As little as a 15 minute talk can have a positive impact for both the school and the employer. We aim for relationships between schools and employers that will perpetuate, for mutual benefit.
We meet a school
to listen and learnWe Build Bridges CIC learns the unique rhythms and needs of the school and works out the best ways for the school to link with employer organisations and businesses. We work with schools whose pupils live in neighbourhoods that have fewer opportunities than those in more affluent areas.
We do not want to
We do not aim to replicate the brilliant work already being done by organisations such as STEM Ambassadors and the Careers and Enterprise Company.
We are the knowledgeable, experienced, on the ground, get things done, Babel fish (but not yellow).
We do want to
Work with both sides of the relationship to ensure needs are met all round: we listen, we liaise, we support, we get on the phone, we work round obstacles. Our aim is to establish such strong relationships between schools and enterprises that they can endure and We Build Bridges CIC is no longer needed.
