Our partners

We work with a range of inspirational corporate and military partners across the UK who help to fund and deliver our programmes. Across the three-year Blue Skies programme, every student takes part in up to 15 workplace visits and out-of-school experiences hosted by our partner network.

Our partnership methodology

JET’s long-term Blue Skies programme combines social and emotional support with access to exceptional workplaces and professional role models. These elements combine to maximise the impact of our programmes have in raising confidence, self-belief, work-readiness and aspiration.

Last year, our partner network helped JET to deliver 461 Blue Skies and Inspirational Outreach sessions, while 617 professional role models volunteered over 3,230 hours of their time to support our students!
