Business

Would you like your company to play a role in increasing young people's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathemathics (STEM) careers?

Can the skills and experience of your organisation help you to avoid a potential skills gap among your STEM roles?

Would you like to involve your employees in the local community, helping to inspire young people about STEM careers as well as giving your staff excellent development opportunities?

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 vast and diverse range of opportunities available to them, when they choose to follow a STEM related career.

As a company you could:

• Challenge traditional stereotypes that young people have about scientists and engineers
• Ensure that potential future employees come through with the right skills and attitudes
• Help to develop the skills and knowledge of future STEM workforce, including your potential employees
• Have an opportunity to contribute ideas to teachers about how to design STEM curriculum which fits their 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
