Science for Careers
This report warns that unless science speaks to young people, the UK faces skills shortages.
The report puts forward what the Science for Careers Group believes is a clear steer to ensure that the UK economy has a workforce with the science skills that it needs. The report challenges the science community to change the way it works and listen to audiences to get the message across that studying science is a gateway to opportunity.
The report argues that the over emphasis on high achieving role models and case studies from academia and research don’t have wide appeal and distort the image young people have of where science can take you. The report identifies that there is not enough careers information available on opportunities in SMEs, or scientists working in every day settings or in the emerging technological sectors. The report calls for all careers information, outreach and communications programmes to ensure that they embrace scientists of all types and at all levels.
