THIS IS YOUR FUTURE WORKFORCE – THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF STAFF.
A sustainable vision The beauty of Aspire is in its simplicity. The model works, schools are engaged, businesses are on board and students are clearly benefiting – not just in terms of awareness, but with real-world progression routes into the workplace.
“ Aycliffe businesses have bought into this – it’ s a no-brainer as far as they’ re concerned,” Sarah continues.
“ We just need resource and funding to make it a regular part of the school calendar, so that every young person gets the same brilliant opportunity to see what’ s on their doorstep.”
As the programme looks to the future, the hope is that key stakeholders – including education leaders, businesses, local authorities and regional funders – will recognise the value in Aspire and back it to grow.
Because as Sarah and Thomas both make clear, this isn’ t just about careers education- it’ s about community, ambition and unlocking the incredible talent that lives just a few streets away from some of the region’ s most innovative and successful businesses.
For Aycliffe, Aspire is more than a programme – it’ s a pathway to a brighter, more connected future.
