UKAEA is accelerating social value in the UK’s education landscape through its impactful partnership with the Skills Builder Accelerator Programme, reinforcing its long-term commitment to skills development and opportunity in under-represented regions.
Since 2024, we have invested £19,200 to support six schools across the Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and East Midlands regions. We have reached 2,248 learners and trained 88 teachers through this initiative through a strategic skills education programme designed to embed essential lifelong capabilities into the classroom.
The initiative includes a mix of primary, secondary, and specialist institutions which serve diverse learner populations. They are now equipped with tools, training, and expert guidance, to integrate essential skills also needed in the fusion sector, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership into everyday learning.
The schools we have supported so far include: -
Selston High School
Rockingham Junior and Infant School
Harrison College
Roughwood Primary School
Pheasant Bank Academy
Hayfield Lane Primary School
A core feature of the programme is the appointment of a dedicated Skills Leader in each school, tasked with embedding a long-term essential skills strategy. This is supported by teacher training, digital tools, and a structured framework for student development.
This collaboration highlights our strategic and robust approach to education and skills-building which can help unlock the full potential of communities, ensuring that students, regardless of background have access to meaningful opportunities.
Caroline Bellanger, Apprenticeships Project Manager said:
“Through our partnership with Skills Builder, we’re investing in the people and places that will shape our collective future. Employability skills are the foundation of innovation, and we are proud to play a role in strengthening these”
This initiative highlights the organisation’s dedication not just to cutting-edge science, but also to community enrichment and long-term, inclusive growth.
