Employers

Be a part of it...

Employers can also be part of the aim to improve the STEM education in schools and colleges while gaining themselves at the same time.

Working with schools and young people in your area offers so many benefits and advantages to both your employees and your organisation.  First and foremost you are helping to broaden the outlook of young people to better understand the wide and varied range of opportunities available to them, when they choose to follow a STEM related career.

As a company, you could:

• challenge the stereotypes that young people have about “nerdy” scientists and “greasy” engineers

• ensure that your potential future employees have the right skills and attitudes

• have an opportunity to contribute ideas to teachers about how to design a STEM curriculum which fits local needs

• gain access to fresh ideas and views through the original and creative thinking of young people

• strengthen your organisation’s reputation in the local community.
