Closing the Gap is an innovative initiative bringing together business leaders and school management teams to improve the no positive destinations of students. Started in 2003 in Glasgow, it aims to maintain, sustain and develop positive links between schools and businesses and has brought significant benefits to schools and local communities. Closing the Gap is based on the belief that through construcutve partnerships between the private and educational sectors, young peoples' employability prospects can be significantly enhanced. The Closing the Gap programme involves a range of different ways that businesses can become involved with schools, providing many opportunities for staff development and engagement.
