STEM

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 are 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 going to help 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.

Not only do our enthusiastic Inzpire STEM ambassadors actively support projects across the country, we also offer exciting opportunities including:

• Work experience
• 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 Michael Newton (michael.newton@inzpire.com) and Nathan Yarborough (nathan.yarborough@inzpire.com).

“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology”.

These are the words of one of my personal heroes, Carl Sagan - an American astrophysicist and astronomer. Here at Inzpire, we are committed to helping young people understand, appreciate and enjoy STEM subjects. This is valuable work; STEM is not about passing exams, it is about equipping people with an understanding of how the world really works. Inzpire’s STEM programme is not a bolt on to our business; it is part of who we are. We view educating young people in STEM as a noble pursuit”.
