Young STEM Leaders

The Young STEM Leader Programme (YSLP) is an exciting award which aims to spark greater interest and participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) among young people in Scotland.

Young people have the chance to inspire, lead and mentor their peers through the creation and delivery of STEM activities and events within their schools, communities or youth groups.

The key aim of the YSLP is to facilitate the development of peer STEM role models to inspire more young people to develop an interest in STEM.

As well as developing important personal skills that are increasingly in demand from employers, working through the programme will motivate the Young STEM Leaders (YSLs) to progress their STEM studies and potentially embark on a related career in STEM.

The Scottish government-funded Programme led by SSERC and delivered by trained teachers and other educational professionals called Tutor Assessors (TAs). TA training is a 2-hour training course delivered by the YSLP Team, usually online.

The programme is available at CfE Second, Third and Fourth Levels (YSL2, YSL3 and YSL4) underpinned by a framework that identifies the skills, knowledge and behaviours expected of a Young STEM Leader at each curricular level.

Formal awards at YSL4, YSL5, YSL6 and STEM Leader 7 (SL7)– at SCQF Levels 4, 5, 6 and 7 – are underpinned by learning outcomes and performance criteria for each level, all of which are credit rated by Qualifications Scotland.

SSERC is a Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered educational charity.
