The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) promotes excellence in primary science teaching and learning, increasing awareness of STEM industries, careers, and sustainable practices, through visible links between classroom science and its application in industry.
We create relationships between schools and industry. Our expertise can help you increase and sustain the number of local children considering a future within your sector.
We offer a range of tailored approaches to working with schools, supporting your ESG and community outreach goals. Training is available to cultivate and support a programme of collaboration with schools and teachers, enhancing your company reputation and building strong links with local schools.
Our well-established Children Challenging Industry programme is now in its 28th year. This popular programme sees CIEC advisory teachers, funded by local industry, train STEM professionals to deliver effective site visits for children aged 9-11, following the delivery of science lessons. Schools also benefit from the provision of professional development (15,000 teachers to date).
We have successfully trained over 1,200 STEM professionals from industry to offer site visits to more than 60,000 children from over 2,000 schools.
To discuss how we can support your outreach, contact us: ciec@york.ac.uk.
