Employers in schools and colleges with the Diploma

With the new Diploma in IT now available, there has never been a better time for employers to get involved with schools and colleges. The Diploma in IT, developed by e-skills UK, is one of the first 5 Diplomas that provide 14-19 year olds with skills related to the world of work as well as a robust academic background. The Diploma also provides an ideal platform for IT professionals to go back to school and inspire current students about the exciting opportunities offered by a career in IT and technology.

A unique bank of resources

backtoschool will feature over 100 how-to guides for different types of employers, ranging from small creative companies through to global IT organisations. The guides are specially tailored to fit in with the Diploma in IT curriculum and contain clear advice, examples and templates for interacting with schools - including activities such as the 'Industry Insight' days, 'Guru Lectures' and work experience.

backtoschool will also showcase some of the work that employers have done so far to engage with Diploma in IT students and teachers, providing IT Professionals with the inspiration and guidance they need to interact with schools. The site will feature employer profiles with exclusive videos evidencing some of the exciting work being done to motivate young people.
