Engaging with Scottish schools to promote STEM
\n10am to 3:30pm, 2nd February 2015
\nVenue: Deans Community High School, Livingston<\/p>\n

The Commission for Developing Scotland\u2019s Young Workforce states in its report that \u2018a focus on sciences, technologies, engineering and mathematics (STEM) should sit at the heart of the development of Scotland\u2019s young workforce\u2019 and calls for long-term partnerships to be established between schools, colleges and employers to bring about significant change.
\nSimilarly, higher education institutions and research groups are looking for ways to engage effectively with school communities to encourage learners to develop STEM skills and pursue further study in these areas.
\nThere are many activities taking place nationally and schools are already engaging with a variety of partner organisations and institutions to enhance the learning and teaching of STEM within Curriculum for Excellence and to develop the employability skills of learners. However, more needs to be done to coordinate efforts and scale up successful approaches to bring about the transformative change that is required.
\nThe purpose of this event is to:
\n\u2022\tShare interesting and thought-provoking models of school partnerships with industry, higher education and colleges
\n\u2022\tCreate a forum for discussion regarding effective partnership working with schools to support learning and teaching in STEM areas
\n\u2022\tOutline the national actions that are being developed by national bodies to address the recommendations from the Commission for Developing Scotland\u2019s Young Workforce.
\nAudience: This event is aimed at key decision makers or a nominated substitute (persons with interest in STEM School engagement) in local authorities, professional bodies, colleges, higher education, research and industry.
\nProgramme: The event will include a stimulating mix of keynote presentations, workshops and discussion. Further details regarding speakers and workshops will be provided in due course.
\nTo register: This is a free event. Please email STS@SSERC.org.uk<\/a> to book a place. It is advisable to book early as places are limited. When booking, please remember to send details of any special dietary or access requirements.
