Schools Programmes
Working to encourage young people to take up chemistry and to enter a career in the chemical industry is a vital part of the work that we undertake to promote the industry’s image.
Chemicals Northwest coordinates two schemes that bring together businesses and pupils from the North West with exciting results:
-
Children Challenging Industry (CCI), which is operated by the Chemical Industry Education Centre at the University of York and is aimed at key stage 2 pupils (ages 8-11).
-
Collaboration of Schools and Industry (CoSI), which is aimed at secondary school students.
We are also proud sponsors of the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in Widnes and the activities that it promotes to students through its workshops, clubs and special events.
