The University and the College are committed to a Widening Participation agenda and aim to strengthen partnerships between higher education, further education, schools and training providers. Of particular concern is how to raise both the aspirations and attainments of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are currently under-represented in higher education.

My role involves developing partnerships with target schools/colleges to deliver a programme of progressive outreach activities from Year 9 right through to undergraduate transition support.
I am responsible for planning, devising and delivering targeted interventions and events in support of the governments initiative to double the number of disadvantaged young people entering higher education by 2020. Initiating, developing and maintaining long-medium term relationships with a number of charity, educational and commercial partners has to build a strong portfolio of events and activities that are impactful and cost effective to the organisation(s) involved.

This exciting role is centered in a fast paced, professional environment working with key stakeholders inside and outside the institution to deliver a range of innovative outreach events, interventions and activities.

The widening participation outreach initiatives at the MET for Undergraduate students include the University Open Days, attendance at school and college events across the country as well as widening participation outreach set out in the institutions Access Agreement.

We collaborate with other key partners towards the governments goals to increase the number of disadvantaged learners in HE by 2020. We fully support and participate in the National Collaborative Outreach Program (NCOP) on the development and delivery WP activity around coastal West Sussex and indeed the ‘greater Brighton’ region.
