TMUK is one of a number of companies supporting this education initiative, alongside the University of Derby, Rolls-Royce and Bombardier.

Working with the senior management team, both at the DMUTC and The JCB Academy, we provide exciting and stimulating opportunities for students. TMUK devise part of the curriculum and deliver classroom activity to the young people during the academic year.

TMUK demonstrate how theoretical concepts have very real and exciting practical applications within our business. This type of activity does not currently exist in secondary schools in the surrounding area and will open up a range of different pathways, career opportunities and learning experiences for students.

  • Mentoring support to students and staff.
  • Offering practical resources, access to equipment, site visits and presentations to groups of students, known as STEM enrichment days.
