Following on from the fantastic Better Learners Better Workers launch event at the Cutlers Hall in Sheffield, WPT students from our Rotherham secondary schools recently took part in a workshop in conjunction with ESH Construction.
The engaging day challenged students to apply their practical maths skills to real-world everyday construction scenarios, while simultaneously honing key workplace behaviors such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Our students worked exceptionally hard throughout the session and proved to be a real credit to the Trust.
Better Learners Better Workers is an employer-driven education programme designed to help young people develop the essential knowledge, skills, and attributes required to succeed in the modern workplace. WPT is incredibly proud to be participating in the initiative this year.
This partnership directly aligns with our Trust-wide commitment to Careers. At WPT, we want our students to be fully prepared for the world of work and know what is available to them once they leave education. We are working towards the Gatsby benchmarks and creating opportunities to link academic subjects to industry, we ensure our students understand how classroom learning connects directly to future career paths.
Events like the ESH workshop deliver on our pledge to provide meaningful employer encounters and contextualized learning, raising aspirations and empowering our students to make well-informed choices for their futures.
We look forward to seeing our Better Learners Better Workers ambassadors continue to grow, develop, and excel as the programme progresses throughout the year!
