Through funding from the Joseph Stannah Foundation, the initiative will help deliver hands-on learning experiences focused on themes such as Pioneers of Engineering and Future Technologies. These activities are designed to inspire the next generation of engineers and innovators by bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world skills.
Although the programme is based in Hartlepool, it reflects a company-wide commitment to nurturing future talent. Stannah’s Gateshead branch, part of its national network, is closely involved in the delivery of the programme.
Craig Wrightson, Branch Manager, said:
“We’re delighted to be supporting the STEM programme at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool. STEM education fosters critical thinking, creativity and technical ability – all essential for careers in engineering. Our team is passionate about sharing their knowledge and inspiring the next generation.”
Fiona Neil, Head of Group Communications at Stannah, added:
“Community support initiatives like this are vital in helping to meet the demands of tomorrow’s job market. Supporting STEM not only strengthens the workforce but gives young people new opportunities.”
The partnership highlights the important role local employers like Stannah play in encouraging skills development across the UK – and reinforces their longstanding support for engineering as a career pathway.
