Meet the schools outreach team
We’re excited to introduce Sam and Grace, the friendly faces behind our Schools Liaison Team at Dudley College of Technology. Together, they lead our efforts in partnering with schools across the West Midlands to inspire young people and help them find the right post-16 pathway.
What Sam & Grace do
- Build and strengthen partnerships between Dudley College of Technology, Dudley Sixth and schools in the region
- Deliver engaging outreach sessions, both in schools and on our campuses – including talks, tours, taster events, assemblies, and interactive workshops
- Support students and educators with tailored guidance on A Levels, T Levels, vocational courses, apprenticeships, and career discovery
- Represent our college at events – from careers fairs and parents’ evenings to mock interviews, GCSE results support, and campus open events
- Ensure every engagement aligns with the Gatsby Benchmarks, meaning schools receive meaningful, structured experiences to inform students’ next steps.
Passionate about progression
Sam and Grace are passionate about helping young people explore their future with confidence. They work closely with teachers, careers leaders, and parents to ensure every student has the information and inspiration they need to make informed choices.
Above all, they are committed to empowering young people to see their potential, believe in their abilities, and take positive steps towards a successful future.
Schools toolkit
We know how important it is for teachers and careers leaders to have quick access to high-quality resources that support meaningful encounters with employers and post-16 providers. That’s why we’ve created a library of useful downloads, ready for you to use in lessons, assemblies, events, or careers programmes.
Whether you’re looking for Gatsby Benchmark support, ready-to-go workshop presentations, or event posters to promote our visits, you’ll find everything you need here. These resources are designed to save you time and ensure your students have access to clear, inspiring, and accurate information about the opportunities available at Dudley College of Technology.
