Abstract
The engineering and technology sectors are continuously striving to get more young people into STEM careers. But what advice were the engineers and technicians of today given in their school years? Now secondary schools are required by government to lay on credible careers guidance. Today, say experts, some schools do it brilliantly, while others are too stretched. Four in ten teachers say students lack visible STEM role models in their lives, and six in ten say they have limited access to computer science resources. According to data from Capital Economics (commissioned by Amazon), jobs that require computer science, AI or machine learning skills are expected to increase by 40 percent in the next five years. Most teachers say students would be more interested in AI and computer science if they had a chance to speak to real people leading the field.
