Test Yourself on STEM Digging deeper

Well done for completing STEM Digging deeper! Hopefully you have further developed your knowledge about the role of STEM in careers guidance and planned to implement some good practice.

The aim of this quick quiz is to help you assess your own learning against some of the core learning points in the module. This is a self-assessment exercise and on completion, comments are found in the view feedback link below.

We hoped that on completion of STEM Digging deeper you could:

    • Identify major STEM sectors and employers in your local area
    • Join professional networks to keep up to date on developments in STEM courses and careers
    • Promote equal opportunities in the context of STEM careers
    • Plan a STEM careers awareness activity that addresses your identified development priorities

      Some of these outcomes will be fulfilled through your reflections and the ideas recorded in your STEM Careers Personal Action Plan.

      • Gather all of your STEM favourites where you can access them from anywhere, share favourites and find new ones.
      • Choose information from websites with dynamic content, to be delivered to you.

      • Socio economic
      • Other issues
      • STEM subject teachers need to be made aware of the value and significance of WRL to their own subjects.
      • Employers should not limit their activities to selective and high flying schools if they are serious about improving access to the professions and STEM in general.
      • Placement agencies should ensure that for each stereotypical placement requested an alternative non traditional placement is offered.
      • Placements need preparation and support, access to female role models as well as follow up and evaluation
      • Companies and organisations that only offer placements to employee family members usually do this as a way of managing demand. To promote equal access for students then a different arrangement may be required, for example building a partnership with a school in a disadvantaged area that includes work experience.
