If you’re a teacher you can get behind our scheme, inspire students to consider higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and develop contacts with working scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians in industry and research institutions.

Students benefit from working in industry and research institutions, gain an insight into current research and development, and get first-hand experience of STEM in a working environment.

• Develop contacts with working scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians in industry and research institutions

• Improve links with Higher Education in your area

• Raise the profile of your School/College within the local community

• Inspire students to consider higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
