A new initiative has been launched to boost participation in design and technology subjects in schools. Bristol is the first regional hub, connecting 1,700 schools with major engineering corporations like Samsung. The Design & Technology Association says the design economy, worth £100bn per year, faces a significant skills shortage. Around 20% of schools have dropped the subject due to expense. The programme will offer mentorship at 15 locations around the country. The initiative aims to nurture talent and address the skills shortage in the sector.
