Recent government initiatives highlight the growing concern that schools and industry should work more closely together. This practical handbook provides information and ideas that teachers can use to set up school-industry links and organize work-related activities in schools. Among the topics discussed are: the benefits for pupils, staff, schools, and industry; how to organize links with industrial firms; organizing pupil's work experience and teacher secondments in industry; bringing visiting speakers into schools; getting classroom resources from companies for project use; initiatives, competitions and projects run by industry; funds offered by industry for specific purposes. The final section of the book provides a comprehensive listing of useful addresses and sources of further information. Gerry Gorman is head of the economics and business studies department at Brighouse High School in West Yorkshire. He is the author of "GCSE: A Guide for Parents, Employers and Candidates" and "Fund raising for schools", both also published by Kogan Page.
