The charity provides outreach sessions and early intervention programmes to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are at risk of falling out of education. These programmes enable young people to build employability skills, confidence and resilience, and directs them to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workplaces and positive role models.
The funding provided by Northrop Grumman will allow JET to provide inspirational outreach sessions to 1,000 young people, which link young people to aspirational role models and speakers.
JET will also be able to provide its space-inspired STAAR Lite programmes to schools, and 250 students will have the opportunity to take part in a cyber security workshop later in the year.
