NEW EFFORTS are being made to educate Kinlochleven pupils on ‘in demand’ career choices in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Rebecca Machin, head teacher at Kinlochleven High School, said: ‘It is not just about promoting STEM careers, but about opening our eyes to what is possible and the wide range of opportunities many of us are unaware of.’
Every pupil in S1 and S2 attended the Edinburgh International Science festival, with the support of Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) West Highland. The students took part in a careers event focusing on potential future challenges, how they could be solved and the STEM careers which can help build a better world.
