Young Crossrail Programme
Summary
Since 2005, Crossrail has run a STEM schools engagement programme called Young Crossrail. Between 2013 and 2016 this programme engaged with 44,000 young people, teachers and parents across 350 schools, colleges and universities reflecting a strong engagement culture. This case study provides an overview of the programme and outlines the core programme of initiatives for Young Crossrail partner schools and others. It identifies key learnings for the delivery of an effective programme including the importance of getting buy in from senior management and explains the need for an engaged volunteering network to help deliver programme objectives.
This case study would be of interest to Education Managers, Corporate Social Responsibility Managers, Youth Engagement Managers, STEM Education Managers and HR.
