How STEM Ambassadors support post-16 teaching

Bring STEM subjects and careers alive with our industry experts

"More than 90% of teachers said engaging with STEM Ambassadors has improved their students' awareness and ambitions in STEM."

STEM Ambassadors help bring STEM subjects alive and provide real-life examples of industry careers, facilitating an invaluable link between schools and industry. They are already proving to be an incredible resource for secondary schools and colleges across the UK and can be requested to support every element of your STEM curriculum, including careers support.

“I think it's absolutely imperative that teachers request a STEM Ambassador! These individuals have incredible skills and knowledge that they can bring into a classroom that you simply don’t have within your school walls.”

Mike Fairburn, Teacher of Business & ICT, Egglescliffe School & Sixth Form College
