• Would you like your company to play a role in increasing young people’s interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (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?

Advantages of linking to the STEM Ambassador scheme

• Accreditation in a nationally recognised scheme
• FREE CRB checks for all STEM Ambassadors
• Extra training and personal development opportunities – often held at your own workplace
• Community links – could be part of your approach to Corporate Responsibility
• As STEM Ambassadors your staff are insured to be off site in schools, even out of work hours
  To find out how to get involved contact your local STEM Ambassadors Manager (see below). For larger companies, the national STEM Ambassadors Manager (see below) may be more appropriate.

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
• Contribute ideas to teachers about how to design a 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
