What is a Go Construct STEM Ambassador?
A Go Construct STEM Ambassador promotes STEM careers and education in the construction and built environment.
Ambassadors work in various construction-related roles and inspire future professionals with their passion and enthusiasm. As volunteers, they share their time, knowledge, and skills to engage young people and demonstrate the connection between STEM subjects and real-world careers, inspiring the next generation of construction professionals.
Why book an Ambassador?
Go Construct STEM Ambassadors empower young people to see the link between studying STEM subjects and a rewarding career in construction. By inviting an Ambassador to your classroom event or careers fair, your students will:
- Build awareness of STEM subjects and relevant career paths
- Get to take part in hands-on construction activities
- Be inspired by the Ambassador’s own journey from STEM to construction.
All Ambassadors have been given safeguarding training and have full DBS/PVG checks.
