STEM teachers and Careers Leaders are invited to spend a day at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, a neuroscience institute located with UCL in London, to learn about careers and opportunities for young people in science.

You'll have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of professionals within science to learn more about their day-to-day roles and skills needed to enter the field. Highlights will include tours of the research labs and facilities to showcase the roles in action. The day will also involve a workshop to give STEM teachers and Careers Leaders the time and support to work on resources to use in school with their students. 

You'll increase your knowledge of career pathways in neuroscience including PhDs and scientific support roles to enable more informed conversations with students.

To attend, please register your interest or speak to your Enterprise Coordinator for further information.
