TEACHERS ventured from their classrooms to spend time with businesses, including Blackburn Rovers, in a scheme run by Lancashire Education Business Partnership (LEBP).
For one day more than 50 staff from a Skelmersdale college joined businesses and organis-ations across the county in a professional development scheme devised by the Guide-based LEBP to help develop future links between schools and businesses.
The aim was to provide staff with a better understanding of how industry and the wider world of work operates, while informing the business sector about current practices in school and within education in general.
Teachers and support staff were also placed with Youth Offending Teams and in magist-rates' courts, as well as at Ewood Park. Funded by the Learning and Skills Council, LEBP connects young people with the local business community.
