There are currently two main levels of Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland sponsorship: Principal Partnership and Associate Partnership. |
|
We currently have five Principal Partners who contribute towards core funding and have the opportunity to host their own challenges: BAA Scotland, BP, Lloyds Register Educational Trust, OPITO - The Oil and Gas Academy and Shell. There are also 15 Associate Partners who provide financial assistance to Young Engineers Clubs Scotland. Principal Partners receive substantial publicity from their association with Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland and benefit from having their own unique component of the Young Engineer’s & Science Clubs Scotland programme. |
|
Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland is keen to hear from potential partners and donors interested in Principal or Associate Partnership, as well as companies wishing to form an alliance with others from similar disciplines (civil and construction engineering for example) in order to host a discipline-specific challenge. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland is always seeking new sponsors/providers of materials and resources, whether this is in the provision of raw materials to schools or facilitating visits from Clubs to tour your premises. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
The most successful individual Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland have links to local engineering companies. |
|
As well as often supplying modest, but crucial financial support to individual clubs, these companies often form relationships with the clubs. Link engineers, attending club sessions regularly, or when required for trouble-shooting, are an important link for clubs to the engineering community and allow them to form relationships with actual engineers and learn about what they do. Club visits to company premises also increase students’ awareness of the profession. Companies can become involved directly with clubs in their area, or sign up to the STEMNET Science and Engineering Ambassador scheme.
In order to develop the network further and assist in addressing the specific needs of the individual clubs, SCDI has been putting together a network of Regional Assistants who will work at a local level, involving themselves with clubs and reporting to SCDI on the activity, assessment of needs and quality of the experience for young people. |

|
|
Such in-kind support is already being provided by FMC, Lifescan, Rolls-Royce, Rio Tinto Alcan, Morrison Construction and SELEX. |
