The Oxford Trust holds the contract for the Science and Engineering Ambassadors scheme (SEAs) in Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Launched by the DfES and DTI in January 2002, the aim is to support teachers in delivering the curriculum and to increase the number of people with qualifications in science, maths, design & technology and engineering. The scheme aims to encourage more young people to understand the opportunities that a science, engineering or technology based career can offer them.
Ambassadors are anyone with skills in these areas and are involved in a variety of occupations at all levels. They all have enthusiasm for what they do, a desire to inspire young people and an ability to communicate.
