The 'Transportunity' guide provides a step-by-step Running Sheet to establishing 'Adopt-a-School' (AaS) within the Transport & Logistics (T&L) Industry.

How to play

The guide is designed around the image of a traditional board game, with each step taking one 'board space' as you progress around the board in a clockwise direction (this is why the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons appear to be pointing in strange directions - a clockwise boardgame navigates from right to left).

The board's centre icons     list a range of activities that might be established under 'Adopt-a-School' relationships.

Moving clockwise from GO...

Step 1 = PLAN
Determine the partners, decide which schools, how many students or youth are to be targeted and what T&L organisations are active in your LOCAL area.

Step 2 = DO
Establish the 'AaS' relationship and advise TALC.  Then instigate an informal meeting with the School's Careers Adviser and/or Principal, as well as the Local Community Partnership (LCP) and the T&L Business.  Then view the T&L business and conduct a risk assessment before deciding on the initial project(s).

Step 3 = CHECK
Reviewing outcomes; What is working?  What can be improved? Are all parties gaining benefits?

Step 4 = ACTION
Is T&L attractive?  Promote the 'AaS' relationship within T&L and the wider community.  Formally measure the impacts.  Seek support to sustain the program.
