We are supporting the Science Council to develop and pilot a registration scheme that will ensure there is appropriate professional recognition for science technicians.
Is practical work in UK schools and colleges fit for purpose? We are conducting a review exploring how practical science can be made more effective for learners, more manageable for schools, and more relevant to the workplace and further study.
To meet current and future demand for technicians, more employers must be persuaded to take on apprentices. We are supporting research and pilot projects to ensure apprenticeships meet industry’s needs and to increase the number of STEM apprentices.
We have commissioned research to map technician roles in the healthcare sector. The research will explore whether a registration scheme would work within the sector and fit into a wider framework across STEM.
