Wigan EBP works with schools and businesses to provide quality professional development days for teachers. This enables teachers to update their knowledge and skills so that they are better prepared to prepare their students for the world of work. In addition to offering generic placement days, Wigan EBP also arranges tailored placements for individual teachers to meet their needs. Again, the new Specialised Diplomas are likely to greatly increase the demand for professional development placements for teachers delivering the new subject areas and Wigan EBP is committed to engaging business to facilitate this.
