ENTHUSE Partnerships are led by SSERC in Scotland.
The programme empowers schools, colleges and employers to share practise and work collaboratively with the aim to achieve:
• Increased attainment in STEM subjects, narrowing the gap for disadvantaged students
• Increased interest in STEM careers: more students interested in working in STEM industries
• Increased understanding of STEM careers: more students aware of the qualifications and routes to progress in STEM
Shawlands, Cumbernauld and St Mungo’s Academies and Barrhead High School in the West of Scotland
Bringing STEM subjects to life with young STEM leaders driving initiatives in their communities, with a focus on challenging career stereotypes and opening STEM to all.
Staff and pupils in these four secondary schools are working together with Jacobs, going on a journey of enhanced career-based learning, finding out the many STEM-linked opportunities and pathways that exist beyond school. As the learning takes place, young people in these schools will lead careers learning events to peers, gaining Young STEM Leaders Awards as a result.
