EDT

EDT’s vision is a society where young people across the UK have equal access to engage with STE(A)M subjects and achieve their potential in STEM.

EDT is a national charity and the largest UK provider of STEM outreach, delivering 40,000+ experiences to young people annually. Drawing on over 35 years of experience of connecting employers with young people and educators, EDT provides inspiring opportunities for young people to explore the exciting world of STEM, and the variety of rewarding future careers available.

EDT developed Industrial Cadets with support from industry to provide a benchmark accreditation; mapping activities against a skills and competency framework. Inspired by its Patron, King Charles III, Industrial Cadets is the “Kitemark” award for young people engaging with the world of work, providing much needed insights and real-life experiences.

Through experience days, projects, placements and Industrial Cadets accredited programmes, EDT creates pathways through education to employment to: inspire young minds, unlock potential, promote achievement, encourage attainment, and bridge the gap between industry and education.

EDT is committed to offering a learner pathway that encourages young people to have multiple, high quality interactions with businesses, through building successful partnerships with employers and educators across the UK.
