Heads Teachers and Industry

HTI (Head Teachers and Industry) was created by UK business leaders to provide leadership training for teachers. It has been described as “the leading UK charity, which works at the strategic interface between education and business.”

In 1986 the Confederation of British Industry in partnership with the UK Government Department for Education, with support from businesses across the UK, formed the charity Headteachers into Industry, which in 1996 became Heads, Teachers and Industry with Anne Evans, OBE, as the first Chief Executive. In May 2010 HTI was awarded the AEBE, Award for Education Business Excellence.

Summing up one of the main aims of Heads, Teachers and Industry Roger Opie stated: "Since its start in 1986 HTI has been driven by business with a clear objective to raise awareness of employability issues amongst young people”
