Today we talk to Joel Logue, an employer at Traffic and Road Safety Engineering Consultancy about the benefits of being a STEM Ambassador and how their company contributes to STEM skills development. We discuss how STEM Ambassadors are helping to shape students to have those qualities that are desirable to employers. We look at how STEM Ambassadors contribute to society in terms of engineering and transport and (from an employer’s perspective) what T&RS would like to see graduates being taught in College or Uni that would enable their transition to the work environment easier for them.
"T&RS provides quality CPD training courses covering all aspects of Highways, Transport and Road Safety. In addition, our qualified engineers support clients to deliver infrastructure projects including Local Safety, Cycleways and Highway Improvement Schemes. T&RS cares about STEM ambassadors and the great work they do to encourage children towards rewarding careers in highways and transportation." Joel Logue, Technical Director at T&RS
Why are STEM Ambassadors so important? During this series of Podcasts, we explore the excellent work of CIHT STEM Ambassadors and why being a STEM Ambassador is so important to the Highways & Transportation Industry.
We will be looking at the positive impact that STEM Ambassadors have, through the different perspectives of Teachers, Employers, STEM Learning and STEM Ambassadors themselves as well as an introduction from CIHT’s very own President, Deborah Simms, who is a STEM Ambassador herself.
Becoming a CIHT STEM Ambassador has never been easier. As a CIHT STEM Ambassador, you are required to undertake a minimum of one activity each year.
STEM Ambassadors and the activities they undertake are crucial to the development of and inspiring the next generation to get involved in the industry and make a lasting difference.
STEM Ambassadors inspire young people to continue studying STEM subjects and help them to explore the applications of their studies in the wider world.
