About the Organisation

SATRO is an education and skills charity based in Surrey, working across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and South West London. Our purpose is to raise the aspirations of young people for their future careers, and through access to inspiring people from a wide range of businesses, help them develop the skills and confidence to pursue their goals. STEM is at the heart of what we do, and we define this term broadly because of the importance of various roles in making these businesses a successful part of our regional economy. Through hands-on workshops, mentoring, vocational training and employability programmes, SATRO connects schools with employers and volunteers to build essential skills, confidence and aspirations for students of all abilities and backgrounds.
