?Careers from STEM ? opening doors for young people in the UK?

A seminar from the National STEM Centre for school and college senior leaders in London and the South East

Date: Thursday 15 November 2012 from 2pm - 6.30pm
Venue: Hosted by RAL Space, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Oxford, Didcot, OX11 0QX

In 2010 the UK Commission for Employment and Skills reported that 58 per cent of net new jobs predicted to appear in the economy to 2017 will require employees with STEM skills.

The study of science and mathematics opens doors for all young people ? regardless of their future career pathway. However, many young people do not appreciate the rich vista of opportunities that STEM study offers them, and view these subjects as ?not for me?.

High-quality careers information, advice and guidance (CIAG) is a critical component in generating young people?s positive engagement with STEM subjects.

Recent changes in statutory responsibilities and provision of CIAG have resulted in a fast changing landscape in this area for schools and colleges. This free seminar brings together expertise from school and college leadership, employers, and careers professionals to address issues raised by these changes by:

- providing senior leaders with the opportunity to reflect with careers professionals and employers on changes to CIAG arrangements for young people, and how these impact on their responsibilities

- sharing exemplars of good practice in STEM careers CIAG within schools and colleges

- highlighting opportunities for schools and colleges to access STEM support organisation services as part of their CIAG provision.
