Inzpire is helping to support the future generations of a STEM based workforce
What is STEM?
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related subjects are important disciplines in our everyday lives. Nationally we are facing skill shortages in all STEM related fields and as society advances, the requirements for a skilled STEM talent pool continues to rapidly grow.
As we look at ways to circumvent the STEM skills shortage, one of the ways to tackle the issue is by taking part in various STEM projects, locally and nationally with our cohort of STEM ambassadors.
Inzpire is helping to support the future generations of a STEM based workforce. This future generation is the one that could potentially combat challenges such as global warming, or innovate the way we live and operate in our highly technological-driven society. It is our responsibility to ensure these challenges are met head-on, therefore we commit to encouraging and educating the next generation who are focused in pursuing a STEM related career.
How is Inzpire helping with STEM?
At Inzpire we operate a highly skilled and talented workforce. Our employees possess a variety of STEM based skills with many years’ experience in STEM related fields.
As one of the fastest growing defence companies in the country, we feel it is important to ensure the future requirements of a STEM based workforce are met. Therefore we are engaging with communities, schools, colleges and universities across the country and passing our wealth of experience on to the next generation at events such as the RAF's inaugural Forces in STEM event.
Not only do our enthusiastic Inzpire STEM ambassadors actively support projects and and events, we also offer exciting opportunities including:
- Work experience
- University placements
- Job shadowing
- Mentoring
- Science festivals
- Classroom activities
- Career talks
Inzpire is fully committed to closing the skills gap and promoting the aspirations of the younger generation for many years to come. We hope that through the various opportunities we offer, we can conscientiously close the gender and minority gap which currently exists in STEM related careers.
If you feel like one of the opportunities above may be of assistance to you and your future career, please email us at [email protected]. You can also find more about careers at Inzpire on our careers page.
A message from our STEM Lead
“STEM education focuses on practical learning, to develop the necessary skills in young people so they are prepared for the rapidly developing real world.
"At Inzpire, almost everything we do has a STEM connection, and it is vital that we as a company promote and encourage a wider understanding of these subjects to the next generation. It is them who will keep Inzpire at the cutting edge of defence; who will contribute to the future output of our country; and who will help us reduce our impact on the planet.”
