STEM in FOR BUSINESSES Here at Midlothian Council we are keen to support our local STEM organisations in their work and promote opportunities for our young people and adults to participate in STEM industries. At present we have a number of STEM organisations offering:

• Modern Apprenticeships (e.g. Life Sciences, Engineering, Stores Person, Business Administration etc.)

• S6 Work placements for pupils about to study STEM at University

• Participation in the Midlothian Science Festival

• Outreach Work with local schools to encourage the next generation of young people to enter STEM industries (i.e. mentorships, summer programmes, careers & recruitment fairs, workshops etc.)

• School work experience and career education and events to consider STEM as a career We at Midlothian Council believe these opportunities can help our local STEM organisations to: • Raise the profile of their organisation • Encourage and support the next generation of young people to enter STEM industries • Attract funding to help your organisation to grow and prosper • Assist in recruiting STEM and non STEM posts - saving your organisation time and money
