We have many people at AtkinsRéalis who volunteer their time to help thousands of young people learn more about STEM careers. In the UK some of these people have gone on to train as STEM ambassadors. We invite STEM Learning into our offices to run STEM induction sessions to make it as easy as possible to become a STEM ambassador.

We also invite internal and external experts to present at our lunchtime webinar sessions, and occasionally run more in depth training sessions on-site. Our STEM ambassadors attend events like classroom talks, careers fairs, workshops, as well as taking part in mentoring programmes. The most important thing is that these events are as interactive and fun as possible. You might have seen our Lego flood challenge, for example.

Why is STEM important to us

There is a shortage of professionals in our industry, and it is vital that we get more young people interested now, to protect the future of our industry. We really love our jobs, and we are really passionate about passing on our enthusiasm to young people, and encouraging more people into our industry.

After all, the work that we do can really make the world a better place, and affect people’s lives, and that leads to a really rewarding career. 

STEM volunteers

Find out how you can join over 500 AtkinsRéalis colleagues around the world to inspire the next generation.

The world needs engineers, designers, and scientists to ensure the future sustainability of its infrastructure. Yet we face a time when the supply of these skills is falling. Investing in and inspiring the next generation is hugely important when addressing this problem.

We have a responsibility to help the next generation realise the rewarding opportunities that a STEM career can offer. As a STEM volunteer you can motivate young people to enjoy, understand and pursue a STEM career. And there are benefits for you too. Gain experience public speaking and teaching, work as part of a team; join this growing community of STEM professionals. It’s a vital volunteer role and we hope that by raising awareness, we can entice more people to join our STEM network.

Tosin

My name is Tosin, and I'm a graduate employee at AtkinsRéalis and STEM Governor I chose to become a STEM Governor because I believe in investing in the future—and children are the future. As one of the younger governors, I bring a fresh perspective that both fellow governors and teachers have appreciated. I've also found the Governors for Schools community at AtkinsRéalis very supportive, with colleagues who are also governors always available for advice.
