Give your teachers an experience of industry
Invite Industry Into Your School
A STEM Ambassador is a voluntary role undertaken by someone who has a passion and/or professional knowledge of STEM subjects. Our volunteers give their time and enthusiasm to work with young people in schools and in the community, with the shared goal of inspiring the next generation to continue a STEM pathway. The level of involvement a STEM Ambassador wishes to have in the programme is up to the individual. We know that even giving a couple of hours of their own time can make a positive impact on a young person.
Educators can post requests for one of our volunteers via our online platform.

What is a teacher encounter?
The New Anglia Careers Hub Teacher Encounter programme provides an opportunity for teachers to engage directly with employers to see and learn about the different career pathways relevant to their subjects, and to observe how their subject is applied practically in business.
Teachers can then meaningfully use these insights to enrich their curriculum teaching, helping their students build a deeper understanding of opportunities, connections between learning and industry and the essential skills that need to be honed for different roles. There are a number of pathways and routes into employment, in particular technical and vocational options like apprenticeships. This knowledge can empower educators to effectively support students to take their best next step.
Teacher encounters can take many forms, from two hours to multiple days, face-to-face, virtual or a mix of both. From just one teacher to multiple colleagues.

The Suffolk, Norfolk & Colchester Computing Hub Collaboration
Computing Hubs provide support for schools to develop informal and formal Computer Science.
The strength of the Suffolk, Norfolk and Colchster collaboration means we can provide support for all schools across all three areas, by combining and deploying the right support consultants for the right purpose regardless of where they’re based.
We offer teachers:
- courses and accreditation
- subsidies for training
- free curriculum teaching resources
- community support and more
Visit TeachComputing.org for:
- A full range of live remote courses taking place every month
- Online Self-Directed courses (Continuously available)
- Computing Quality Framework online self-evaluation tool
- Local face-to-face courses (fully DfE subsidised – Free + Cover costs paid)
Course: Improve teaching using multimedia in primary STEM (ECG Alpha Partnership Course)

The NCCE Computing Quality Framework (CQF) for Schools
The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) Computing Quality Framework (CQF) is intended to help schools review their progress in developing an exemplary computing curriculum.
CQF Self-Review Tool
The framework takes schools through each aspect of computing, helping them to access the NCCE’s wide range of report functions, and resources for progress. The development of the framework was funded by the DfE .
The Computing Hubs will be able to focus their support based on the outcomes of the self-reviews of schools in their regions.
