Welcome to the Homepage of the DBS Virtual STEM Careers Fair where you can find out all about the brilliant future careers your STEM learning could take you to! Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths is all around us and every one of you has an exciting opportunity to make a positive difference to the world around you through STEM subjects.
When you picture a STEM professional what do you think of? Somebody in a lab coat performing experiments? Somebody spending all day making spreadsheets? Here you will be able to learn about what STEM professionals really do and see how STEM jobs can be creative, caring and challenging.
There are thousands of different jobs related to STEM and thousands of different pathways people might take to reach those jobs. Click through the pages here to see interviews with just a few of those people from Doctors to Engineers. Hear about what they do in their day-to-day jobs, what skills are important for their work and what their best advice is for students considering STEM careers in the future. On each page as well as their interview you will find an example of University Courses you could study to begin those careers. Many STEM jobs of the future don't even exist right now, so pay attention to the skills which our STEM professionals think will be important across jobs in the future such as: communication, working in a team, thinking logically about problems, asking for feedback, and being able to adapt as you learn new things. These are all skills you can work on developing right now during your time at DBS.
