Thousands of state students across the South West are to benefit from “old school tie” networks designed to boost their motivation, confidence and skills by linking them with former students.
Public schools and universities have long known the value of keeping former students engaged. Their alumni see themselves as part of a lasting community and they provide multiple benefits, from networking to fundraising. State schools are realising that untapped potential.
The Sustainable Alumni Communities Project, run by Future First, will launch in 40 schools and colleges across Cornwall, Devon and part of Somerset this term. By September, these will be harnessing the wealth of talents and experience of alumni to help 12,000 students make the crucial link between their studies and life beyond school.
