Why the Focus on STEM? 70% Scottish exports are dependent on science and engineering. 2,500 engineering job opportunities a year in £9billion industry. Forecasts from e-Skills UK suggest that there could be as many as 11,000 job opportunities each year in ICT and digital technology roles. (Scottish Government - A Strategic Framework for Science in Scotland : Report of the International Working Group. It is estimated that up to 95,000 further jobs will be created in the Scottish energy sector by (CfE Briefing Paper 15 – Science for All ) The number of unemployed Scots rose by 10,000 to 203,000 between May and July, according to the latest official figures. 19.1% of these are 16 to 24 year olds More than 50 per cent of school leavers don’t go to university. Very few gain industry relevant vocational qualifications while still at school. (Education Working For All Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce) Wood report (Education Working For All Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce), Skills Investment Plans, Education Scotland’s CfE Implementation plan ’14-15 all focus on STEM priorities.
