Attendees can also speak to a host of businesses, inventors, apprentices and education providers on the future of these industries and the career opportunities within them.
Get up to Speed with STEM also gives companies taking part the opportunity to showcase their business, highlight career opportunities and current vacancies and meet with other businesses, whilst helping to address the skills gap in STEM-related industries.
Airmaster Managing Director, Lisa Pogson is an active member of Women in Refrigeration Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Committee, is a STEM Ambassador and supports the STEMamazing Inspiration Academy that delivers a 6-week programme of live online STEM sessions designed to engage children aged 7-9 years old.
Lisa said "We are proud supporters of The Work-wise Foundation and are pleased to be supporting the annual Get up to Speed with STEM careers showcase for the 6th year. I started as an apprentice as did most of our senior management team. There is still a skills shortage across the engineering sector so the work with schools and universities to attract the future engineers is crucial to the future growth of our business and the sector."
