Career journeys

When we know what opportunities are available to us, and when we are empowered to make choices, we can take control of our own career journey.

Many students enjoy STEM, but they do not always know where it can take them, and personalised careers guidance can be difficult to access in busy, time-pressured schools. To support teachers in enabling young people to take the lead in exploring career journeys for themselves, STEM Learning UK has set up Destination STEM. National Lead Ajay Sharman introduces this innovative online platform.

Highlighting the wide range of opportunities that come with a background in STEM, Let’s Talk Science is committed to preparing young people in Canada for future careers in a rapidly changing world. Founder and President Dr Bonnie Schmidt tells us about the charity’s 30-plus years of innovative STEM programmes.

There are exciting journeys ahead… whatever your destination.
