STEM learning and employability support for young people in South Wales.
The Hwb Collective CIC combines practical STEM, free career tools and WJEC Design and Technology revision. We support individual learners online and welcome carefully scoped partnership discussions with schools, colleges, councils, youth services and community organisations.

Schools, councils, colleges and providers can discuss organised use of the digital tools or a carefully defined delivery partnership.
Organisational useAreas we can discuss
Swansea first, with wider South Wales partnerships considered.
Our immediate base is Mumbles and Swansea. Partnership enquiries are also welcomed from Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire, Bridgend, Cardiff and other South Wales communities where the format, travel, venue and delivery arrangements are realistic.
Listing an area here does not mean a permanent venue or standing programme already operates there. It means organisations in those areas can contact us to explore a suitable pilot, digital licence, workshop or referral route.
Why practical STEM matters
Projects create evidence learners can use.
Investigating a problem, developing ideas, making, testing and explaining an outcome can reveal planning, problem-solving, teamwork, accuracy, resilience and communication. The Hwb Collective helps learners recognise that evidence and describe it honestly in a CV, application or interview.
This connection between practical activity and employability is central to the organisation’s developing programme work.
