Employers: Inspire Your Future Workforce!
Employers can inspire young people to gain STEM skills by hosting a Nuffield Research Placement.
Nuffield Research Placements give young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to gain skills and confidence in science and research. They are provided by the Nuffield Foundation as part of its mission to improve social well-being and educational opportunity across the UK and an independent evaluation has shown them to increase access to university courses in STEM subjects.
There are so many benefits to hosting a placement (see below) but most importantly you could spark a student’s interest in your field of work.
Who inspired you when you started out? You could be an amazing role model like them.
Benefits of hosting a student:
– Support young people and diversify your workforce
– Provide your staff with opportunities to apply and develop their coaching, mentoring and management skills
– Students are bright, capable and can complete a variety of tasks including data analysis, scoping and experimental design
– Fulfil your public engagement, widening participation and corporate and social responsibility goals
– Forge strong links with schools and colleges in your local area
