The STEM Coordination Hub is an industry funded initiative piloting across Breckland, North Norfolk, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. It will significantly enhance local delivery by tailoring activity to each school’s needs on an holistic basis, maximising and leveraging resources, identifying and seeking to fill gaps in provision, whilst finding new ways to improve the learning experience and create new career opportunities for young people. The hub operates by taking an ‘account management’ approach to building relationships with each school, academy, college, university, business and STEM delivery body. This differs from existing models which tend to adopt a ‘one size fits all’ approach, to a solution tailored to the specific needs of the school or college and its learners, aligned to their curriculum and working with appropriate local businesses on an holistic basis. It also aims to significantly simplify the confusion in and the fragmentation of the STEM education skills landscape through its coordination role between education, academia, employers and delivery bodies.
