The Future Skills Programme- STEM
This virtual programme is designed to inspire students, broaden their understanding of STEM careers, and equip them with the skills and confidence needed to make informed choices and succeed in future applications and the workplace.
Who is this for? Students in Years 9-10 – S3-S4
When is this course running? 26th-29th May
How long will it take to complete? Approximately 30 hours flexibly
How much will it cost? £50 (Fully funded bursaries are available for eligible students, criteria is here)
This course is perfect for your students who:
- Have an interest or curiosity in STEM, engineering, manufacturing, digital technology, or future careers
- Would benefit from early exposure to real-world STEM pathways, including apprenticeships, technical routes, and university options
- Are beginning to think about GCSE subject choices, post-16 options, or longer-term career ideas
- May not yet see themselves in a STEM career but would benefit from inspiration, role models, and insight into local and regional opportunities
- Are motivated to develop employability skills such as communication, networking, and professionalism
The course is suitable for all abilities — enthusiasm and curiosity are far more important than prior knowledge and at the end of the course, students will graduate as Bronze-level Industrial Cadets, a nationally recognised award they can use as evidence of their experience to support future applications and career journeys.
