3 ways that investing in classroom storage boosts learning
There are a wealth of factors contributing to inspiring the next generation workforce. From the opportunities facilitated by successful organisations, to the mentors and educators paving the way. The education settings that invest in their students are far more likely to nurture top talent. And a significant part of this investment is in the classroom storage equipment and workplace systems implemented.
In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of installing professional storage equipment within education settings, predominantly engineering spaces, to best serve future employees, innovators, and leaders.
Professional classroom storage helps students get prepared for industry life
Most education settings supplied by bott work with engineering students and others aiming towards a career in STEM. By installing storage equipment such as modular cabinets, industrial workbenches, and custom workstations, you can create an environment that starts to emulate real-world workspaces.
Furthermore, by using the same tools and technology used in the industry, students can gain an understanding of the requirements and expectations of the profession, helping their transition into the workplace.
1. Preparing for industry life

Provide hands-on experience
When you install professional storage equipment and other custom workspace systems within the classroom, you’ll give students the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge through practical application. No amount of reading about or watching videos on this type of equipment will prepare a student in the same way. Preparing young people for the workplace is part of an educator's job - especially for such practical roles - and bott’s storage systems are designed to support you with this.

Nurture a competitive advantage
Does your educational institution provide students with a competitive edge? While educators and curriculums strive to do just that, you should also consider the equipment learners can access. Not only can onboarded students thrive in an environment that reflects real-life workplaces, but it’ll also attract engineering students who want to learn from the best resources available.
When developing your programs, bear in mind the reputation you’re trying to build and how this stacks up against other institutions. When you factor this into your plans, you’ll become renowned for high-quality education provision, whilst producing skilled graduates who are ready to get stuck in. This is always attractive for future employers and apprenticeship managers, who may wish to forge a deeper relationship with your education setting.
