Promting careers in science
I am a guidance practitioner working for Connexions Kent and Medway and have been asked by a local school to support their Careers in Science week. The aim of the week is to encourage pupils to think about the different career options related to science. I am looking to put together a ‘fact sheet’ highlighting some of the careers available, future trends, rewards, availability within the sector etc. The LMI section of this website will of course help me to do this but I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of any additional resources which may be available? Thanks

This is helpful website with loads of statistics about women in science starting from the numbers of students taking science at GCSE level through to working in the sector: http://www.setwomenstats.org.uk/sections/index.php

2 Message from Angela Townsend, SEMTA

During my involvement for Semta n the past on the IAG project with other Sector Skills Councils, we provided copies of our sector information from the Sector Skills Agreements for use on the NGRF website. At the time, the project allowed time and payment for Warwick to summarise the documents and use the information to populate various sections of the website for advisers. Since this project, a number of other reports have been produced by Semta for the sectors of Bioscience, Marine, Metals / Electrical and Mechanical equipment sectors as well as a Labour Market Survey for the Engineering sector. Whilst we would not be able to summarise the information, if the documents would be useful, please feel free to use the relevant links to this page.
