I recently worked with Backstage Academy on an award submission for the 2019 Educate North Awards (for the region’s best further and higher education institutions). The bid highlighted the substantial impact industry partnerships have on the development of students.
Backstage Academy partnerships take a variety of forms including product support from manufacturers of live events technology, masterclasses, and specialist training from industry professionals and work placement opportunities.
The submission was shortlisted as a finalist and then went on to win the Business/Industry Collaboration – FE/HE Sector category at a gala awards night at the Hilton Hotel on Manchester’s Deansgate on 25 April 2019.
