Aspirations
Raising Aspirations, aligning school-home expectations, reaching full potential are all part of success. Realising ambitions and giving practical effective support form the basis of ‘enabling aspirations’ and are core to EBP Kent programmes. Labour Market Information must inform and guide but cannot become barriers to aspiration. Raising Aspirations is far more than attitudinal; it is about practical steps forward and enabling the realisation to take place. |

CEIAG / IAG
The progression pathways, local opportunities, aspirations and the often 'undecided' nature of being a teenager are all areas to be taken into account when building a unique programme of support for young people. What provision does your school make for CEIAG / IAG ? There is provision across all ages with employers, should you wish your young people to experience the opportunities. The journey to open employment varies, the routes vary, the end destinations vary hugely - so much variety requires an equally varied approach to information advice and guidance. |

Stem
A STEM-literate student is not only an innovator and critical thinker, but is able to make meaningful connections between school, community, work and global issues. STEM skills are increasingly necessary to engage in a knowledge-based economy. There is solid evidence to suggest that the fastest-growing and highest-wage jobs in future years will be in STEM fields and all employees will need to utilize STEM skills for problem solving in a wide range of industries. |

Transition
Children who have a positive start to secondary school are likely to engage well and to experience academic and social success. Children's perceptions of themselves as learners, and as someone who belongs at school, are often formed early in their schooling. A Transition program can assist in achieving a positive start to secondary school. |

Employability & Skills
Employability Skills have been captured by all the members of the CBI who, when surveyed, in 2011, gave a very clear list of their priorities when recruiting. Teamwork, communication, leadership are all on the list. Students need opportunities to hone these skills as early as possible and to gain confidence with a range of different experiences until their competencies are strong in all areas. EBP Kent is convinced the best route is in partnership with local, regional and national employers who can support and in some cases lead delivery of the most suitable programmes. Employers inform and update the EBP weekly, they are the best conduit to give guidance and lead these areas, at the very core of all that is Education Business Partnership. |

Literacy & Numeracy
The need for literacy and numeracy and in the workplace is greater than ever. Poor numeracy and literacy affects individuals' ability to succeed in the workplace and acts as a brake on the country's economic growth. Improving the national skills quota (from basic skills, including numeracy and literacy, to higher skills, such as engineering) is fundamental to increasing productivity and therefore economic growth. EBP Kent offers a newly designed literacy and numeracy programme aimed at increasing the individual student's self-esteem and maturity, and to help raise their aspirations via a more positive attitude towards the working world. |
