AB  - It has never been more important for schools and employers to work
together. Indeed, collaboration between education and industry is one of
the great success stories of the 1980s in Britain, with more active
partnerships than ever before. The background to partnership suggests a
variety of motives amongst employers, including a concern to protect
future manpower supply. However, the emerging vision of lifelong
learning provides a new focus for educaton partnership activity that is
being pioneered by the Rover Group, Britain′s largest motor
manufacturer. The company has introduced a number of distinctive
approaches to supporting the work‐related curriculum including
Partnership Centres at its major plants and school‐based facilities, the
so‐called “Rover rooms”, in the surrounding catchment areas.
Quality in work experience has been a major concern for the Rover Group
and, in addition to the company′s annual award scheme, initiatives such
as learning agreements for pupils have been introduced to raise
standards and ensure the quality of learning outcomes.
