Put your engineers in front of young people who want their job. Fund places for the ones who could never pay. Hire, in a few years, from a pipeline you helped build — and get told honestly how it went.
Recruitment pipeline, CSR reporting, community presence, or your engineers wanting to do something that matters. They lead to different programmes.
Including telling you when the thing you asked for would not work, or would cost more than it returns.
Speakers, funded places, events, or a page and a job board — whatever was actually agreed.
Reach and participation, and the parts that underperformed. A report you cannot check is not worth having.
The people who will build your spacecraft in 2040 are 14 now. The companies they will remember are the ones that turned up.
You fund places; we place them with young people in care, Indigenous young people, and young people whose families do not have it. No proof is asked of them, and you get counted numbers back.
Speaking, mentoring, judging the Challenge. The retention argument for this is as strong as the outreach one.
Free to put your company and your jobs in front of young people. Paid when you want funded places, sponsorship or a programme built with you.
