Raising students’ aspirations: Would you LiketoBe involved?






Plymouth Science Park start-up, LiketoBe is a pioneering, innovative, digital networking platform linking employers with students and educators for real world career advice. Would your business benefit from engaging directly with schools, colleges and universities, sharing key career messages, work experience and job opportunities with them?

We are hosting an exclusive launch at Plymouth Science Park where we are inviting businesses to become founding supporters of the LiketoBe platform. As a founding business you can create a profile and promote your opportunities and career experience to our growing community of young people and educators.

Founder, and Plymouth Polar Adventurer Antony Jinman, invites you to our launch to pledge your support to raising students’ aspirations locally, nationally and internationally. Following this event, a local and national press release will be issued including testimonials and support from our founding businesses.

Join us on Wednesday 25th April from 11am in the Baylis Suite to network with other businesses and to find out how you can become a LiketoBe founding business. Register your attendance today.







"There is a massive skills shortage of engineers across all sectors here in the UK, not just the rail industry. Network Rail sees LiketoBe as a great opportunity to engage with young people and demonstrate what opportunities are available to them, whilst helping to raise aspirations towards STEM careers." Jane Austin Head of Engineering Network Rail






"As a school we are keen to look at how careers, employability and a sense of the horizon are integral to all learning. Young people need the chance to explore these areas in both primary and secondary schools. We believe that LiketoBe is a great process to support this and that we wish to get behind. It is a vehicle for creating and maximising community. I would recommend this to all schools, not because it supports your readiness for Ofsted (and it does), but because it is the right thing to do for young people and the communities we work within." Dave Strudwick Headteacher Plymouth School of Creative Arts

In search of penguins

Image from Antarctica Bound on Flickr Polar adventurer Antony Jinman may have been on several epic trips to both the North and South Poles but he has yet to see a penguin - and that's a fact he's determined to change when he journeys to the South Pole again later this year. Plymouth-born Antony is the 12th Briton to ski to both the Geographic North Pole and solo to the South Pole and his boyhood dream was to follow in the footsteps of his hero Captain Robert Falcon Scott , to journey to the white continent and hopefully see a penguin in real life. Yet despite making it to the South Pole 102 years after Captain Scott, after skiing solo for 46 days to the pole he didn't see a single penguin on the snow or ice! Antony is now about to embark on MS Hebridean Sky (one of the finest small ships in the world) as a guest lecturer, and will be venturing down to the continent once again this December and January. On this occasion, he will be exploring the coastline of Antar...

LiketoBe involved?

Want your school to be involved in some leading edge research? Read on! I've just been appointed Head of Research and Innovation at one of the UK's brightest new edtech startups and I'm excited. My challenge now is to find out what teachers and schools would like the platform to do for them. I'm looking for primary and secondary schools who would be willing to try out the service for free and tell me what they think. LiketoBe has been designed to disrupt the analogue world of Careers Advice. We're developing a unique platform and content to connect teachers and students with professionals to provide impartial, authentic careers advice. Much as British Astronaut Tim Peake did using technology, the founder of LiketoBe, polar explorer Antony Jinman has engaged live and direct with classrooms while on various expeditions. He found that instant reaction and subsequent feedback from teachers and pupils alike, demonstrated that technology represents a wide rea...
