Pupils from Moor End High School visited the David Brown Corporation as part of a new

Pupils from Moor End High School visited the David Brown Corporation as part of a new scheme to tighten links between local schools and industry. The scheme ? called Kirklees Compact ? offers better prospects of jobs and training with local firms for pupils aged 14 to 16 who attain achievement goals. These cover academic qualifications and other standards of performance such as punctuality and attendance. The belief is that by reaching them, pupils will convince employers of their motivation and positive attitude. Ms Janice Foster, Compact co-ordinatior at Moor End High School, said: ┬┐hope this initiative will open a wide range of opportunities fro the youngsters when they leave school and provide opportunities for them to assess their personal qualities and achievements.┬┐ompact is designed to help young people achive their full potential by helping them to make informed choices about post-16 education, training and employment. The scheme ? controlled through the Kirklees Education/Business Partnership ? involves hundreds of local employers. More than 200 have already offered over 2, 811 jobs with training over the next few years and 419 employers have agreed to support the scheme in various ways.
