Programmes in Oxfordshire have been running since 2016 when we worked closely with RAF Brize Norton to deliver the region’s first Blue Skies flagship programme to a local school in Carterton. Since then we have developed bespoke Blue Skies Inspire Packages for schools across Oxfordshire in partnership with Rolls Royce, Bremont, the Royal Agricultural College and Harwell. In 2019, JET launched its first programmes in Wiltshire too, thanks to generous support from our corporate partners QinetiQ. Students in Wiltshire benefit from visits to MOD Boscombe Down and QinetiQ sites in Farnborough where they’re able to develop their teamwork and employability skills and be inspired by the working world of STEM around them.
In addition to our Blue Skies programmes, JET delivers Inspirational Outreach programmes to schools in Oxfordshire and Wiltshire which reach an additional 1,000 students per year.
With your help we can reach even more young people, and local fundraising is essential to this aim. On this site you can find out more about our work in the region and how you can support us.
