STEM Event

STEM Event

For our STEM Event, the plan is for employers to deliver a series of talks to groups of students, studying Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Geography.

The focus of this event is as follows: STEM careers fall within the fastest growing sector in the UK, with demand for skilled engineers and scientists in a huge range of jobs. Technology is advancing rapidly, and we need to upskill our ageing workforce quickly and effectively, meaning there are career opportunities within STEM for everyone.

Our college’s aim is to challenge the perceptions of who works in STEM; shine a spotlight on the huge value and transferability of STEM skills; and raise awareness of the variety of roles in STEM and opportunities within the STEM industries.
