         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1.2 The world of STEM careers</strong></div><div><strong>Activity 1: </strong><strong><em>Use the padlet below to answer the following questions:</em></strong></div><ol><li><strong><em>Do you think there is a shortage of STEM skills in Europe?</em></strong></li><li><strong><em>If so, what is the main reason for that?</em></strong></li><li><strong><em>If not, why are employers finding it difficult to employ workers?</em></strong></li></ol><div>According to the articles, some researches show that there is a shortage of stem skills. I think Education System is the main reason. Technolgy is changing day by day but we couldn't catch these changings in our schools. Teachers have difficulty in using technology in their classes even they have technological tools. Beside this,by using technology, teachers may meet technical problems.  Technical support should be provided.  We should engage Stem methods in curriculum and educate teachers first. Project Based Learning method should be used in classes. Supply and demand should be taken into  consideration. Universities , schools and industry should cooperate . </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> Gabrielle Ferguson, Talent Development Partner at CA Technologies, has mentioned an array of soft skills (including communication, adaptation, time management, collaborative working, agile working, adaptation to change, response to change or presentation skills) that are relevant in STEM study fields and STEM careers. The acquisition of these abilities will not only benefit students academically, but it may also facilitate their entry and performance in the business world. Candidates with soft skills are rare but highly valued by employers; partly because soft skills are transferable to a wide array of jobs and professional areas but also because the acquisition of soft skills can help improve relationship-building and networking, thus creating a professional workplace culture.</div>]]></description>

Some practical steps:</div><ol><li>Check out which are some of the big industry or corporate players in your town/city/country.</li><li>Their organisation should have a department/area allocated to <strong>Corporate Social Responsibility</strong> (for example, <a href="https://www.amgen.com/about/">Amgen</a> has the <a href="https://www.amgen.com/responsibility/amgen-foundation/">Amgen Foundation</a>, which offers the <a href="http://www.amgenscholars.eu/">Amgem Scholars</a> program) or a section on <strong>careers</strong>, which almost always provides assistance to students/graduates who might be interested in a job with that company (like <a href="https://careers.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> for example). This information should normally be available on the company’s website.</li><li>See what types of activities they provide: these can be live activities, like trainings or workshops at their headquarters, or live webinars. If they offer extracurricular study programs (like an Academy), you can look into their aims, objectives, conditions and timeline.</li><li>Facilitate the connection with the teachers in your school so they can use these activities in the classroom. This can be accomplished in one-on-one discussions, in staff meetings, or by directing them to that website.</li></ol><div><br> <strong><em>Are there any training opportunities or companies in your country providing programmes from which the teachers of your school could learn and which they could employ for their students?<br>I</em></strong><em>n Turkey. there are many opportunities.</em><br><a href="http://etwinningonline.eba.gov.tr/">http://etwinningonline.eba.gov.tr/</a><br><a href="http://fatihprojesi.meb.gov.tr/ogretmen-egitimi/">http://fatihprojesi.meb.gov.tr/ogretmen-egitimi/</a><br><a href="https://bilgeis.net/#/">https://bilgeis.net/#/</a><br><a href="http://www.studyinturkey.com/">http://www.studyinturkey.com/</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We will now look at a case study of a secondary, vocational school in Portugal, which collaborates with a local company, OGMA, to offer students the opportunity to be placed in internships during their years of study. Although this is a particular case, where the school is mandated to provide these internships, it is nonetheless a good example of the benefits of such placements.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&amp;v=VJUUCMSD6dU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&amp;v=VJUUCMSD6dU</a><br><strong>What do you think is one advantage and one disadvantage of such an internship?<br></strong>It's a great chance to practice for the students. It's a real life experience. It's a preparation for their future job. It contributes to make decision for the future. Disadvantage: In our country, if the students in vocational schools plan to go to a university, they won't have enough time to study for the university exam.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><strong>1. Student internships / job shadowing</strong></li></ul><div>Student internships (or job shadowing initiatives) offer direct opportunities to profit from an insider’s view of different STEM jobs. Particularly, job shadowing is defined by the <a href="https://www2.mmu.ac.uk/media/mmuacuk/content/documents/human-resources/a-z/guidance-procedures-and-handbooks/Job_Shadowing_Guidelines.pdf">Manchester Metropolitan University</a> as an instance “<em>where an individual from one area of the organisation has the opportunity to work alongside and gain experience of the role of another individual, and gain an insight into that particular work area. It can also be used to provide an individual within a department the opportunity to work alongside more experienced colleagues so they can learn and develop within their current role</em>”. This definition can also be applied to students “shadowing” in a company, and not just to individuals already in the workplace.</div><div>Both of these options provide students with excellent chances:</div><ul><li>to explore a career field by experiencing life at a real workplace;</li><li>to learn how to apply academic knowledge through discussions with a professional;</li><li>to assess their aptitude for a particular position/role/career;</li><li>to observe the day-to-day activities of a professional/researcher;</li><li>to discuss specific STEM-related research and career pathways;</li><li>to create career connections and establish valid networking opportunities.</li><li><strong>2. STEM career fairs</strong></li></ul><div>(STEM) career fairs offer students a great opportunity to connect with employers and learn about different career prospects. Benefits include:</div><ul><li>A convenient and unique chance to meet key professionals and employers from different STEM fields, all in one location;</li><li>A networking occasion for students to meet not only with professionals and employers, but also with researchers and more advanced students;</li><li>A chance to gain first-hand information about local (and potentially foreign) employers;</li><li>The prospect of collecting promotional information (brochures, business cards) related to different companies.</li></ul><div>However, there are always challenges related to STEM career fairs, some of them being:</div><ul><li>Mass appeal: Unless tailored to a specific field, career fairs might feature professionals from a wide range of businesses or fields, making it difficult for attendees to adapt the visit to their needs.</li><li>Limited quality time: A career fair is usually loud and crowded, leaving little time or space for effective interaction between students and professionals. This context can prove challenging for students who wish to communicate, ask questions and network.</li><li>Organisational costs: STEM career fairs require a high budget, extensive time and a lot of personnel to come into fruition.</li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><strong>3. Virtual job fairs</strong></li></ul><div>Virtual job fairs are the online version of a traditional career fair. These fairs allow students to meet and discuss employment opportunities on specialised websites, in a live and fully interactive manner. However, they come with some disadvantages, such as:</div><ul><li>Technological glitches: While technology provides students with a variety of new ways of connecting, technical glitches can be a problem for networking and effective communication.</li><li>Digital divide: Not all students may have direct access to a digital device. Therefore, virtual job fairs might not ensure equal access for all pupils.</li><li>Visual elements: The interaction between students and professionals might appear to be limited or superficial, since there is no face-to-face contact.</li><li>Inertia about new technologies: Students and/or professionals may be apprehensive about learning to use a new digital tool.</li></ul><div>&nbsp;</div><ul><li><strong>4. Career talks / workshops / seminars</strong></li></ul><div>These career-related options provide students with a number of presentations related to specific careers and often held by a professional in the field. The advantages include the following:</div><ul><li>Students can discuss specific queries with professionals during or after the talk, workshop or seminar.</li><li>Direct face-to-face contact facilitates smoother and improved communication.</li><li>Parents or guardians can join the discussion to support the children in their career choice.</li></ul><div>The main setbacks of these career-related options are as follows:</div><ul><li>Students might find it difficult to attend career talks if these clash with their school/study schedule.</li><li>Professionals might lack the skills to share their work in a specific field in an appealing, engaging manner. This can result in students becoming disinterested or detached.</li><li>It might be difficult to convince professionals from a wide range of fields to give STEM career talks. Therefore, students might only be exposed to a limited range of options.</li></ul><div><strong>5. Career exhibitions</strong></div><ul><li>Career exhibitions provide static displays with information related to different STEM careers. While they are a nice option to show specific evidence, they often lack the human factor, which can make them less engaging. Nonetheless, when set up in conjunction with other initiatives (such as career talks or event fairs), these exhibitions can be an interesting option to support STEM career engagement.</li></ul><div>T<strong>ell us which of the aforementioned activities is more suited to your school (in your opinion) and what makes you think so.<br></strong>Career days, workshops,virtual job fairs<br>seem suitable for primary schools.<strong><br></strong><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><strong>1. Planning</strong></li></ul><div>Organising a job fair takes substantial time and effort. Most efforts occur during the planning stage, when organisers are busy laying the groundwork (i.e. establishing objectives, targeting an audience or planning a budget). Indeed, the specifics of organising career events are manifold and attention to detail is key. Watch the following video to find out the key steps you should follow in the planning phase of a STEM career event.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcvKLJOFkY0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcvKLJOFkY0</a></div><ul><li><strong>2. Implementation</strong></li></ul><div>Once the planning stage is complete, the event will start coming to life. However, it is important not to miss a trick, and to keep in mind that there are still many duties to carry out, specifically related to the event implementation and the event itself. From risk assessment to logistics, it will be essential to draw a masterplan that puts together the team and its activities. Watch the following video to learn about the main tasks in the implementation phase.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZaRINqcnQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZaRINqcnQ</a></div><ul><li><strong>3. Post-event activities</strong></li></ul><div>Last but not least, it is essential to complete a number of post-event actions, not only as follow-up activities with different stakeholders, but also as a way to disseminate the main outcomes of the event and, most importantly, to evaluate its results.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhVGMveVSQg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhVGMveVSQg</a><br><strong><em>Pick ONE main task for each of the phases (Planning - Implementation – Post-event activities) and tell us why you think it is important.<br></em></strong>Planning is the most important part of the organisation. The best planned event provides easier processes andcontriubutes to reach the target easily.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>
