How the day works
The event provides a variety of opportunities to engage with employees in different industries and learn more about the applications of STEM and the careers that are available, including:
- Exhibits from industry, public bodies and research organisations
- Workshops or industry challenges
- Careers networking
Run by a SATRO STEM Tutor the event can respond to different focus areas e.g. engineering or technology and can be linked to local industries to bring real-world career path information.
This full day activity for up to 120 students (dependent on venue capacity) can be adapted for a single school or one which brings smaller groups from different schools together.
Feedback from a previous event run with Fluor Engineering revealed that:
- 73.6% of attendees said that they would actively consider a career in STEM
- 88% felt that talking to employees in STEM jobs helped them think about their futures
