Scottish Borders Chamber of Commerce - Teacher Training Placements in Business

Excellence in Education through Business Links

Can you provide placements for teachers?

Excellence in Education through Business Links (EEBL) is a programme which supports the continuing professional development of teachers in schools, by providing them the opportunity to spend at least two days with local employers. Through this programme teachers can gain a greater understanding of the skills and competencies required by employers of their future workforce.

Teacher placement opportunities allows teachers to experience at first hand the business world and access to relevant business input to the curriculum and contexts for learning.

There are substantial benefits to business through participation in this programme – staff development opportunities, influencing curriculum developments and practice in schools and informing teachers of the skills and attitudes which they seek from young people entering employment.
