Northampton Saints Foundation are thrilled to announce HUT 3, a leader in innovation and collaboration, has signed up to their Founder15 scheme.
The three-year partnership, with an annual donation of £5,000, will see HUT 3’s support go beyond a financial contribution, by providing invaluable practical support to staff and students on their education and social inclusion programmes.
HUT 3 will host a staff workshop, where their team will share insights into how AI can streamline and enhance workflows.
They also plan to run a student workshop for those aged 16 and above, introducing them to AI, marketing and communications, while highlighting career paths that don’t necessarily require a degree.
"We’re proud to partner with Northampton Saints Foundation in this exciting endeavour”. Shared Andy Johnson, Founder and Director at HUT 3 “At HUT 3, we believe in empowering the next generation with skills and knowledge that will shape the future.”
“This partnership allows us to share our expertise, fostering a hands-on, real-world learning environment. Together, we’re building a bridge between innovation and opportunity, and we’re excited to see the incredible impact this collaboration will create”.
Through the partnership, the Foundation and HUT 3 aims to inspire young people, helping them build confidence, develop essential life skills, and pursue brighter futures.
In addition to the above, they will also offer provide work experience opportunities, to students on their Employability programmes, giving practical exposure to professional environments, from client interactions to managing a typical workweek. Providing work experience is a key factor of helping to improve their employability and reduce NEET. (Not in education training or employment).
According to the Youth Futures, 2024 Foundation Youth Employment report, NEET rates in the UK are worsening, with 872,000 young people out of education, employment or training. It also reports that young people perceive that finding a job has become more difficult, but many remain optimistic about the future.
“HUT 3’s engagement will ensure that our students will have the tools and insights needed to thrive in their future careers and build their confidence" said Gemma Shields, Partnerships Lead at Northampton Saints Foundation.
"They will also support our staff in developing their professional expertise. We hope to see a difference by creating pathways, sharing knowledge, and creating real-world learning experiences for the people we support. We’re incredibly grateful to HUT 3 for their commitment, generosity, and vision”
