3. CBI education and skills survey 2008
‘59% of employers are having difficulty
recruiting enough STEM-skilled individuals
to meet their needs’
John Holman, National STEM Director.
‘Demand for highly numerate and analytical
individuals is predicted to grow much faster
than for those with other skills.’
Engineering UK 08
There is a significant shortage of
Technician level Engineers in more
junior occupation groups – the very
bedrock on which engineering depends.

15. Timeline Project - Interim Results
• Lack of cohesion across STEM or with careers
• E&E has little evaluation for careers awareness
• STEM career relevant activities not explicit
• Parents rarely involved with STEM careers IAG

Look for opportunities to include STEM careers
awareness in all interactions with young
people, schools, teachers and families.
Awareness, not hard sell
Many employees are parents/family members
Linking STEM and Careers
All young people to be made aware of the fulfilling and attractive careers open to them through the continued study of science and maths
All young people are well prepared to develop the necessary skills and qualities needed to make informed choices about the qualifications they will require for further study and careers in STEM
Led by Science Council including support from ASE, Royal Soc of Chemistry and IoP
The DCSF’s Science and Maths campaign aims to encourage more teenagers to take science and mathematics subjects at A level.
It works by challenging young people’s perceptions of these subjects and demonstrating to them the huge range of aspirational and rewarding jobs available via science and maths on the campaign website: www.scienceandmaths.net
The campaign also speaks to parents to encourage them to support their children in considering science and maths, post 16.
Teachers and careers professionals will also be targeted through a science and maths careers awareness project, including the development of new resources to help them in advising students as they choose their post 16 options.
The campaign is complemented by the Science Council’s www.futuremorph.org website, which provides a range of new STEM careers content including videos, interactive elements and quizzes to engage young people further and provide advice and resources for parents and teachers.
