Abstract
It has never been more important for schools and employers to worktogether. Indeed, collaboration between education and industry is one ofthe great success stories of the 1980s in Britain, with more activepartnerships than ever before. The background to partnership suggests avariety of motives amongst employers, including a concern to protectfuture manpower supply. However, the emerging vision of lifelonglearning provides a new focus for educaton partnership activity that isbeing pioneered by the Rover Group, Britains largest motormanufacturer. The company has introduced a number of distinctiveapproaches to supporting the workrelated curriculum includingPartnership Centres at its major plants and schoolbased facilities, thesocalled Rover rooms, in the surrounding catchment areas.Quality in work experience has been a major concern for the Rover Groupand, in addition to the companys annual award scheme, initiatives suchas learning agreements for pupils have been introduced to raisestandards and ensure the quality of learning outcomes.
