| ECA/PL001 |  THE FITS FOUNDATION The FITS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation created specifically to provide training and accreditation for technicians in educational establishments. FITS (Framework for ICT Technical Support) is a set of guidance processes designed to streamline ICT service management and delivery in schools. Evidence has shown that implementing FITS processes cuts the costs of ICT support provision, delivers a higher return on ICT investment and a positive impact on teaching and learning outcomes. FITS, originally developed by Becta, the government agency leading the national drive to ensure the effective and innovative use of technology throughout learning, is now managed and supported through The FITS Foundation. The FITS Foundation's goal is to provide a clear career path for ICT technicians in schools through their accreditations, both of which are internationally recognised qualifications and listed on the QCA register. The accreditations provide technicians with NVQ levels 4 and 5 qualifications. The FITS Foundation is now inviting sponsors to help them in their objectives of professionalising the technical workforce, providing improved returns on ICT investment and a positive impact on the teaching and learning experiences.

| ECA/PL002 |  GROWING AMBITIONS Growing Ambitions (a social enterprise with an assets lock) offers a sponsor the opportunity to put their brand before every workplace in the UK. Growing Ambitions is the UK's first national online database of careers speakers for education. Every workplace in the UK is being targeted to encourage their workforce to give Careers talks in their local area. Through www.growingambitions.org people in the workplace inspire great career ideas in young people they reach, and so make a valuable and real difference to young lives. Careers advisers book Speakers through this site for young people in Year 9 upwards. Branding for the lead Corporate Sponsor will reach every kind of workplace throughout the UK: the professions; commerce; banking; industry; trades; academia; sport; leisure; the armed forces and many more. Five groups in particular benefit from Growing Ambitions. • Business: Growing Ambitions is a useful, zero-cost staff development tool; it is also a valuable addition to any CSR programme and generates positive PR. Growing Ambitions allows employers to help raise local skills levels in the medium and longer term, so expanding their recruiting pool. • Working people: this is a great tool for those in careers that they enjoy to 'put something back' into their local communities; Growing Ambitions is equally attractive both to first-time and seasoned volunteers. • Subject leaders and careers education teachers and advisers: they have ready and easy access to enthusiastic local speakers at a click of the mouse. • Young people: they benefit from the inspiration that 'hearing it from the horse's mouth' brings - inspire ambition and you get application and better discipline. • Government: national objectives are furthered by encouraging more young people into university and vocational training. Apart from the lead Corporate Sponsor opportunity, Growing Ambitions invites other organisations to use the service for their own CSR programmes, and to consider funding the extensive PR and e-marketing campaigns, and so benefit from brand exposure. Campaigns across all media encourage speakers from over 500 career types, in every town in the UK, to volunteer just four half-hour speaking slots a year. With PR campaigns planned to target every workplace in the country, Growing Ambitions is highly attractive to any organisation wishing to raise its profile to UK business and the wider community, and to be seen to be helping to develop the potential of our young people. Contact: Sally Davis, Managing Director. Tel.: 023 9266 1600 or via email through the website. link to website Sponsorship packages 1. Lead Sponsor's funding will help to underpin the service's admin., site management and PR programme. The sponsor will benefit from prominent branding both throughout the site and on all PR materials. 2. Career-Specific Sponsors benefit from targeted, bespoke, career-related PR campaigns for their particular sector; for example, an engineering/science based company sponsoring a PR/publicity campaign to promote the study of physics or engineering at 'A' level or degree level. Many sectors need an effective means of encouraging entry into their sector and, in this, Growing Ambitions has a valuable role to play. This sponsorship is part in-kind and part financial.

| ECA/PL003 |  STIRLING SCHOOL OF ENGLISH "Please help the Stirling School of English to continue to offer free English Language teaching". The Stirling School of English is looking for a sponsor with an interest in increasing global understanding. The school offers free English tuition to non-English speakers. It has currently more than two hundred students from over thirty countries being taught by about twenty-five qualified volunteers in thirty different classes each week. It caters for students of all ranges of proficiency in the language, beginners to advanced. These students are here either working or studying and every part of the globe is represented in the school. The school, however, does more than teach language skills. It also helps students integrate into the community and provides social activities to reduce a sense of isolation. Uniquely amongst teaching institutions, students can join at any time during the year, so they can begin to learn the language as soon as they arrive in the area. This is particularly important in helping people integrate into the community. The school also links to employers seeking to improve the language skills of their migrant workers. "Sponsorship would enable us to maintain our free service, but also expand our activities (eg extending crèche facilities to enable more working mothers to attend), improve our premises and our training of volunteers. It would also help us commission the design of teaching materials as well as purchase computer equipment to facilitate modern learning methods. Above all, it would help produce financial stability and relieve the school from reliance on a variable grant regime, as well as enabling it to develop as a social enterprise and allow it to generate income. Sponsors would be welcome to get involved as consultants to put together a professional business plan and help the school develop in creative ways and sustain its activities into the future".

| ECA/001 | GETTING OUT OF REDUNDANCY: DOCUMENTARY Would you be interested in sponsoring a documentary about getting out of redundancy? The documentary will combine interviews, round-table conversations, specialist opinions and the journey of three candidates - and how they successfully got out of redundancy. It will follow Carolina Rodriguez and the candidates through their differing emotional and physical journeys. The goal of the documentary is to raise awareness regarding the need for the UK to build a world class programme for people that have been made redundant or are out of work. The continued importance of redundancy awareness and the incredible opportunities that come after it will be explored visually, as well as through the words of the candidates, who will go through a coaching programme with Carolina Rodriguez during the changing process. The programme makers will educate the audience about the importance of positive thinking and the need for a defined plan. The audience will gain an understanding of the possibilities and importance of embracing change in a positive way, whilst also seeing the power of newly acquired skills taught by Carolina Rodriguez. The producers are hoping that a sponsor will be interested in sponsoring this documentary. They see a synergy and connection that would be of benefit to a sponsor, by raising the profile of the sponsor's company to the community and to the sponsor's target market. They are requesting £4,000.00 in sponsorship and in return the sponsor will receive • participation in the documentary, with the sponsor's company/organisation having the opportunity to be part of the programme (round table conversations and specialist opinions) • an association as key players for the future of the UK workforce • company logo on all printed materials • company logo and link from the programme makers' website to the sponsor's website • acknowledgement of the sponsorship in all media materials (news releases, media advisories, etc.). "The audience will benefit tremendously from your generosity. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for considering this request". Contact: Carolina Rodriguez, Director. Address: 10 Dyke Road Avenue, Brighton BN1 5LB. Tel.: 01273 241608. E-mail: carolina@carolinardoriguez.co.uk link to website
