STEM Ambassadors make an impact by:
Supporting learning – help young people to understand the real world applications of their learning
Illuminating careers – showcase different careers, providing information on roles and pathways into industry while raising awareness of the skills that are important in the workplace.
Raising aspirations – give young people the opportunity to meet a wide range of inspiring role models, encouraging them as they think about their future.How to sign up
