What?

• Hermitage STEM Fest is a one-day careers event that brings together companies whose work and apprenticeship programmes require STEM skills. Using a mini-conference format, the event gives young delegates the opportunity to meet employers, explore learning and career pathways into STEM jobs and take part in a range of engaging, informative workshops.

When?

• Usually held in May.

Who?

• Approximately 230 S2 pupils from Hermitage Academy are invited to visit the marketplace at timed intervals and attend workshops.

Where?

• Hermitage Academy, Helensburgh. Lunch and refreshments are provided for all attendees.

How? 

• Represent your organisation at a Marketplace stand, highlighting what you do, how it connects to STEM, and future demand in Argyll and Bute and beyond. Interactive stands work best, so feel free to be ambitious with your resources.

• Alongside the Marketplace, participating organisations can offer hands-on workshops that give pupils practical experience of their work.
