Individually, each university in the region delivers a wide range of programmes and activities to support Higher Education decision making. Jointly, we coordinate a range of collaborative activities for students in primary and secondary education, and specific targeted support for underrepresented groups. The Partnership also delivers events for teachers, advisers, parents and carers to support information, advice and guidance given to young people across the region.
Outreach activity
The North East Raising Aspiration Partnership provides a range of activities, workshops and information sessions covering all aspects of student life and access to university, delivered by our fully trained team of Higher Education Ambassadors. Our sessions are tailored to meet the differing requirements of students from Year 2 through to Year 11, providing informative, engaging activities to ensure your students come away from the session with an understanding of their options within post compulsory education.
Underrepresented groups
NERAP are committed to ensuring all students have equal and fair access to Higher Education. We deliver bespoke sessions as well as targeted programmes of activity to support pre and post-16 care experienced young people and young carers to explore their future options.
