Teacher Placements

Shape the Future – STEPS at Work

As part of our STEM engagement in increasing the pool of young people interested in STEM subjects and following a STEM career we support the STEPS at Work initiative and have delivered a number of STEPS at Work Teacher Placement opportunities at our engineering sites, including our power stations.

STEPS at Work (Science, Technology & Engineering Placements) is a national programme of professional placement opportunities for teachers and careers professionals. It runs as a partnership between The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Institute for Education Business Excellence (IEBE).

The STEPS programme targets teachers of Science, Technology & Engineering subjects as well as those involved in helping to shape young peoples’ career plans.

During these placements teachers benefit from:

• updated knowledge
• essential networking
• contacts for speakers and talks
• better understanding of how maths and science are used in the work place and developing stronger links with businesses
• improved information about careers in engineering and engineering routes
• an improved image of engineering
• a real context for science and engineering
• resources and materials for lesson plans
