We look forward to further working with local employers, following this top level award.
”The NEF STEM Assured standard has been specifically developed to assure the quality of an integrated, cross-curricular approach to STEM vocational education. The approval process is robust and involves a critical review of the provider’s strategy and approach to ensure their vocational STEM offer meets the needs of employers and industry sectors.
