Corporate Director for Environment and Regeneration; Richard Crook, 艾叉A片 County Borough Council Said:
鈥淭his is a fantastic partnership opportunity to deliver a curriculum based activity with the benefit and support of local businesses in a school environment. 聽聽The Aspire Apprenticeship Scheme has recently been working with secondary schools and the Eden Centre to use Lego as a way of highlighting the varied skills required in the future and highlighting potential career paths available to them.聽 I鈥檓 pleased that the programme is now working with primary schools, with the aim of showing these pupils how engineering and technology and other subjects are important for the future.鈥�
