Regional Partnerships for Mayoral Combined Authorities
Delivering Skills, Opportunity and Growth Through TeenTech
TeenTech collaborates with Mayoral Combined Authorities, regional leaders, and employers to strengthen regional talent pipelines by connecting young people with high-value career opportunities.
As regions take greater responsibility for skills, growth and inclusion, engaging future talent earlier has never been more important. TeenTech helps Combined Authorities connect young people with career opportunities, strengthen employer engagement, and build awareness of careers in priority sectors.
From digital and AI to advanced manufacturing, clean energy, health and the creative industries, our programmes help regions turn priorities into real opportunities for young people and employers.
Why This Matters for Regions
Many regions face shared challenges. Skills shortages in key sectors are holding back growth, while young people often remain unaware of the career opportunities available on their doorstep. Employers struggle to connect meaningfully with future local talent, and gaps in aspiration and social mobility continue to limit potential across communities. At the same time, there is increasing pressure on regions to demonstrate clear impact from devolved investment.
TeenTech provides a proven, practical way to respond to all of these challenges.
What TeenTech Can Deliver:
Regional partnerships can include:
- Large scale student engagement events
- Employer led careers inspiration programmes
- STEM, digital and AI activation campaigns
- Place based initiatives aligned to growth sectors
- Targeted programmes in priority communities
- High quality impact reporting for stakeholders
Designed for Combined Authorities
We understand the priorities of devolved regions. TeenTech programmes are built around inclusive growth and levelling opportunity, helping to develop strong skills pipelines that strengthen economic competitiveness. We work closely with employers to create meaningful engagement with young people, and everything we do is grounded in evidence-led delivery so regions can demonstrate real impact.
TeenTech can complement existing skills plans, youth strategies and business growth programmes.
A Partnership Model That Works
Our programmes bring together regional leadership, employers and sponsors, schools and educators, and the young people and communities at the heart of every region. By connecting all of these stakeholders around a shared goal, we create genuine ownership of outcomes, stronger results for everyone involved, and a visible focus on regional priorities.
Outcomes You Can Expect:
- Increased awareness of local growth careers
- Stronger employer and school connections
- Improved student aspiration and self-confidence
- Enhanced visibility of regional opportunities
- Tangible support for skills and growth agendas
