Key Reviews
'This book is beautifully clear, accessible and enthusiastic. It will be genuinely helpful to teachers, parents and students in a myriad of ways.'
Dr Heather Earnshaw, Lecturer in Teacher Education (Physics), Edinburgh Napier University
'So often, we see job profiles or sector overviews presented as stand-alone information - what makes STEM Careers such a valuable resource for careers professionals, young people, educators and parents/carers is the way in which the author threads big picture thinking throughout the book, highlighting the interconnectedness of different STEM industries, skills and global/local problems that have a link to STEM careers and STEM solutions. This approach, supported by the authentic 'career story' case studies and helpful breakdown of STEM-related sectors and job titles into easy-to-digest categories (Making Things, Helping Others etc.) grounds the book as a really practical tool for career explorers, and one with an emphasis on both broadening horizons (see the references to STEAM and the creative industries, so often neglected in STEM-related conversations) and drilling into the detail of what STEM careers really look like in practice.'
Chris Webb RCDP, Career Consultant, Co-Host of the #WeAreCareers show and author of #TheWeekInCareers
