UK CURRICULUM & LEARNING
20 years make it the best time for almost a century to be an automotive engineer.
“The world is looking to us to make personal mobility more sustainable, and we can only do that through the application of science.”
JLR is now rolling out its STEM education programme
internationally, helping to nurture homegrown talent in the countries in which it operates.
FORGING PARTNERSHIPS facilities
the
Local to its manufacturing plants and engineering in
Midlands, JLR has invested in six
Education Business Partnership Centres (EBPCs) as part of a partnership with Birmingham Metropolitan College. The centres provide learning facilities and resources for children from primary age to 18+.
Groups of pupils from local schools visit the centres for a day or part of a day with their teachers, to learn about engineering, manufacturing and automotive business-related activities. Teachers can use the facilities to complement their own courses or take advantage of tailor-made courses prepared by the centres.
“Jaguar Land Rover invests around £2 million each year in education-related programmes,” said Les Ratcliffe,
head of community relations. “Our education centres help young people gain a wider understanding of how vehicles are designed and manufactured, and inspire some to consider a career in the automotive industry.
“Over 20,000 young people and 3,000 teachers visit our six centres each year. The programme reaches students beyond those who visit the centres, as teachers take what they have learned back to the classroom to share with other children at their schools.” As part of its programme to promote engineering
careers and support the national STEM agenda, JLR has worked with other automotive, engineering and academic organisations to develop a series of national ‘challenge’ projects for schools. These help to bring science and technology subjects to life, providing pupils with hands-on projects that enable them to explore different aspects of the automotive industry in an exciting way. They also help young people to develop communication, teamwork, project management and ICT skills. The Jaguar Maths in Motion Challenge is an annual competition for children aged nine and upwards. They work together in small teams, using a wide range of maths skills to design and race virtual cars.
