Linking school and work

Clyde Waterfront has developed a range of educational resources for use in schools. Written by teachers, the plans add value to curricular topics by providing opportunities for pupils to apply their learning in a local context. The resources are available on the Clyde Waterfront Education website (opens in new window).

The particular emphasis is on delivering a 'Curriculum for Excellence' by giving pupils real life learning experiences and developing skills for life and work.  A major input also is that it addresses the requirements of the 'Determined to Succeed' enterprise programme where all schools need business partners to participate in educational projects linked to the world of work.

Each of the local authorities has an Enterprise Development Officer who will assist with linking businesses to schools and identifying ways they can work together.
