Showcasing the variety of careers that involve science in some way are what these pages have been designed for. Working across a variety of organisations we have brought together people from a range of fields and professions to show how versatile the application of scientific skills can be.​

We have compiled their career journeys into a directory to make it easy for young people to discover the sorts of jobs and professions that could be in their future. We hope to show the breadth of career choices that use STEM in some way across education, healthcare, engineering and creative professions. This resource can support students in understanding how science-based knowledge and skills can be applied beyond the classroom.

The collection of short films and profiles are available to view and share in school or college and are aimed at young people aged 11 to 18, bringing to life how studying STEM subjects can lead to rewarding and exciting professions.
