The STEM Programme Co-ordination Unit
The £2.45m Single Programme funded Regional STEM Skills Project aims to encourage the region's young people to study subjects with a science, technology, engineering or maths base and to pursue STEM careers, ensuring there will be a steady flow of school leavers and graduates to meet the demand for STEM skills from the region's growth sectors.
New Skills Consulting, in partnership with The KSA Partnership and STEMNET, is responsible for establishing and managing the STEM Programme Co-ordination Unit (PCU). The purpose of this important facility is to:
- Provide strategic advice and guidance to the Partnership Board of STEM North East and One North East.
- Develop and implement a STEM communications plan.
- Establish and maintain a web-based STEM North East portal.
- Organise and deliver a programme of events, including an annual STEM North East Network Event, to raise awareness of STEM activities and encourage networking.
- Provide programme and project management and monitoring for the Regional STEM Skills Project.
- Inform the forward strategy for the Regional STEM Skills project.
