Connecting employers with education
Explore how industry and schools can work together to support the next generation of talent.
BRILLIANT brings together employers and educators to explore how industry and schools can work together to support the next generation of talent.
Across sectors that depend on strong STEAM skills, the demand for future talent continues to grow. Industries such as advanced manufacturing, digital technology, engineering, gaming, architecture, healthcare innovation, and the creative industries all rely on young people developing the technical and creative skills needed for modern careers.
Many employers recognise that young people often have limited awareness of the career pathways that could potentially lie ahead of them while still in education.
BRILLIANT provides a space where businesses can connect directly with educators, share insight from their sector and help schools better understand the skills and opportunities available in today’s economy.
For employers, attending BRILLIANT is a win-win. Young people benefit from seeing how classroom learning connects to real careers, while organisations gain the opportunity to help shape the future workforce and build early relationships with emerging talent.
Join a movement connecting education and industry
BRILLIANT Festival exists to bring education and industry together to rethink how young people prepare for the future.
Across the UK, schools are working to equip students with the skills, creativity and confidence they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world, but education cannot do this alone. Industry insight, experience and collaboration are vital, and we want to help you to be at the forefront of this.
BRILLIANT invites businesses to be part of a growing movement that connects educators with the industries shaping tomorrow’s careers.
By partnering with us, organisations can create genuine, meaningful connections, opening the conversation between schools and employers.
Help shape the skills of the future workforce
Whether it’s engineering, manufacturing, digital technology or the creative industry, technology is evolving sectors at a rapid pace, and with this, we are facing a growing skills shortage.
BRILLIANT Festival aims to stop young people leaving school without fully understanding the opportunities available to them across modern industries, or how the subjects they study can connect to real careers.
By sharing your insight with our attendees, you can help educators to understand:
How industries are evolving
The skills employers increasingly need
The opportunities available to young people
How classroom learning can connect to real careers
Be part of the change
BRILLIANT is more than an event. It is a growing community of educators, employers and innovators who believe education should better reflect the world students are entering after education.
By partnering with the festival, organisations become part of a shared effort to improve education, strengthen skills and inspire the next generation.
For businesses that want to contribute to the future of learning and support the development of tomorrow’s workforce, BRILLIANT offers the opportunity to be part of something bigger.
