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.
