STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are hugely important areas of study. People with STEM qualifications are in high demand from employers. By achieving good grades at GCSE and A Level in STEM subjects individuals put themselves in a strong position in the jobs market. The Nuclear Skills Strategy Group has developed and approved the business case for a Next Generation Nuclear project. This would see a project spanning a full programme of activities to boost nuclear schools and college outreach, covering a teaching resource portal, meaningful workplace encounters and Teacher Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This would be the first of a kind ‘whole sector’ approach to improving outreach and careers activity and would support the implementation of the Government’s Careers Strategy.
