Online forum for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths

STEM online forum
 The OU Careers Advisory Service will be running an online forum for OU students studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) to help you plan your next career steps.

The forum, which will run from Monday 8 April to Friday 3 May 2013 will be moderated by a careers adviser, and each week there will be a number of people participating from the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Network (STEMNET) Ambassadors Scheme. These are people who work in the STEM sectors, and who give their time to help students studying those subjects to find out more about the career opportunities available.

This is a unique opportunity we have organised for Open University students, so we encourage you to make the most of the chance to draw on the advice and information that will be available to you.

Questions can be on any topic related to your career planning e.g.

• What career options are available with a degree in a STEM subject?
• How can I get work experience?
• What are the benefits of further study?
• Is age a problem for career changers?
• Where can I find job vacancies?

To access the forum go to the Careers Workspace on or after 8th April using your OU computer username and password.  After the forum closes the content will be available in read-only format for a further year.
