“We’re delighted to announce that from today we’ll now be known as The Switch. Following a thorough rebranding process, our new, snappier name was chosen to better reflect the great work that we do in helping to transform the lives of young people.
We may have left our old name, Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership, behind, but our goal and passion remain unchanged.”
Real World Learning (RWL) involves intentionally designing
the curriculum so it is relevant and contextualised, making learning meaningful
and inspiring. Although this can come in many forms when connecting with
employers, most examples of RWL are centred around students engaging with the
employer or community partner.

Earlier this month, the AEBP successfully launched its inaugural online event series utilising Microsoft Teams. This digital gathering brought together a diverse group of attendees, including both members and non-members, to engage in a stimulating discussion about the evolving landscape of schools and workplaces in the post-COVID era. Participants shared valuable insights and perspectives on the array of products and services now available to educational institutions, particularly highlighting the emergence of innovative virtual solutions.
Earlier this month the AEBP hosted the first of a series of
online “Microsoft Teams” events. Members and non-members shared ideas and
thoughts on a Post Covid School and Workplace environment and the products and
services that are being offered to schools including new virtual options.
I am a school governor as well as being a youth engagement officer in the British Army, and a civilian teamwork/leadership facilitator working with young people from all backgrounds and all nationalities. I am passionate about young people achieving their potential – and to do that, they need to know all their options.
Please find information about Army careers for young people age 16+. In these uncertain times, the army is seeing a huge increase in applications as it offers job security for life. This is information all SLT and careers officers need to know and ensure is passed on to ALL students in secondary school, to advise young people of their options.
As you may know, only 8% of secondary age children are aware of the career opportunities available to them in the British Army. As someone who didn’t have this information when I was at secondary school, I felt cheated – and now it is my mission to ensure ALL children know about these opportunities, regardless of social background, religion, ethnicity, gender or anything else. Everyone is equal in the army.
Only 30% of army careers are in combat roles which means the vast majority are careers that are found in civilian life (mechanics, teachers, doctors, nurses, vets, dentists, engineers, IT/tech, chaplains, lawyers, HR, PR/media etc.) – the only difference is the army has higher pay, more opportunities, guaranteed continuous training and qualifications, transferable skills for life, plus adventurous lifestyle, fun and friendship.
Please find below links to films about scholarships, bursaries, and apprenticeships (finance is available from £3k – £75k per student). The first video is the most informative and most important to share – the others will give you more insight from the student’s point of view. If this information can be shared with all secondary schools and their students that would be great – and I believe it’s our duty or we are letting our children down.
