Green STEM Careers

Online Green Careers Workshops

We work with industry professionals and can bring them live into your classroom. This is a chance to break down children’s misconceptions about STEM careers and the people who do them. We will explore what they do in their job, the skills they need to do their job and what they were good at at school.

Volunteer

Many children do not know anyone who works in a STEM career and have no idea how to go about following such a career path.

If you are able to spend half an hour preparing and another half an hour chatting to young people on a live webinar to discuss your job and skill set, and the reasons you like what you do and how different it is from common perceptions.

Suggestions of how you can use your time to inspire the next generation of STEM employees

1. Think about who or what inspired you to follow your career path - how can you pass this on?

2. Offer to speak in your children’s/relations/friends children’s/local school about your job and role

3. Where permitted share your day/working life experience online, there are few thought leaders in this industry - could this be you?

4. Support your company's initiatives already up and running

5. Support our online careers workshops

6. Identify someone starting out in the industry and offer your time to mentor them, sharing your knowledge and allowing them to gain a better understanding of the needs within the sector.

If you do go in to speak to a school please contact us for some advise on how to pitch your talk.
