The purpose of the Science Cluster is to undertake
strategic planning and review of activity across Sectors using STEM
skills. The aim is to provide a meaningful and
responsive fit between STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) skills provision and STEM skills needs.
The Science Cluster has already identified four key themes for
action:
-
Research/Labour Market Intelligence (LMI),
led by Skills for Justice
-
14-19 STEM Education, led by Proskills
-
Higher Education, led by Cogent
-
Workforce Development, led by Semta
In addition to the work of the Cluster, Semta has also created a
UK STEM Skills Forum, which is chaired by Prof
John Holman, the National STEM Co-ordinator. The Forum will
assist the Sector Skills Councils in prioritising STEM skills
activities, and make proposals to government to improve the supply
of STEM-skilled people.
