About SATRO: Education & Employability Skills charity

SATRO raises young people's aspirations about their future. We work across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and South-West London in all educational settings, partnering with businesses to inspire and raise the aspirations of students of all abilities and backgrounds, and give them opportunities to develop the skills and confidence they will need to be ready for the world of work. STEM, in its broadest sense, is at the heart of what we do. Our partnerships reflect the wide diversity of sectors, and jobs available, and our activities seek to inspire students’ ambitions in those industries and, especially at primary school, a love of STEM subjects. Our activities are centred around two main themes: • Skills, Confidence and Aspiration: in-school skills workshops, multi-school challenges and events, research projects and mentoring partnerships which challenge perceptions, raise aspirations, increase confidence and prepare students for their next steps in education, training or employment. • Vocational Pathways: delivering AQA and BTEC Level 1 construction qualifications, practical construction workshops and SEN independent skills training from school age to young adults. All areas of our work directly involve employers in the development of real-world experiences and career understanding, including the involvement of staff as volunteers supporting the challenges. This collaborative approach produces quality programmes with measurable outcomes that demonstrate the positive impact on young people. Working with SATRO helps businesses enhance their community engagement, realise their CSR potential and motivate employees. We support students of all abilities and are particularly keen to ensure that young people who lack access to opportunities to be inspired and develop the key skills they will need, and those at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), are able to benefit from our programmes. contactus@satro.org.uk
