Value for businesses

Businesses could contribute

  • Funding and sponsorship
  • Guest lectures
  • Support for educational activities
  • Supervised practical projects

In return they could benefit from

  • A stronger future talent pipeline
  • Skills development in their communities
  • Opportunities to engage with consenting, eligible graduates

Sponsors never receive access to students' personal data. Any contact would be opt-in, by eligible adults only.

Potential organisation to contact — not a partner

Teach for Romania

An organisation working on education in vulnerable communities. We plan to reach out to explore whether collaboration could be appropriate.
