BEA guidance

A place-based model for local authorities

The BEA can support economic development, community cohesion and education engagement by connecting local employers with schools through city and town chapters.

How it works

Economic development

Strengthen relationships between employers and education.

Community cohesion

Create visible local collaboration.

Youth opportunity

Support enrichment, aspiration and employer awareness.

Build a structured local partnership

The BEA model brings together due diligence, matching, ongoing support and impact reporting. This helps both sectors understand expectations and maintain a useful, appropriate relationship.
