Staff augmentation

A practical, sustainable and affordable staffing solution

Schools are meeting increasingly diverse student needs while holding to strict academic standards. Staff augmentation lets you add specialist STEM expertise without the long-term commitment of traditional hiring.

We place an experienced STEM educator alongside your staff to build and deliver your school's STEM program during school hours. Coding, robotics, STEM and engineering are scheduled into your timetable, and your team is trained on our proven curriculum along the way.

Usually cheaper than hiring your own specialist staff
