Building STEM communities

Building communities for a diverse and inclusive STEM world

The Elevate careers programme is designed to make STEM industries more diverse and inclusive, energising progress to build the future our world needs. 

Through our community programmes, we aim to bring skilled people together, elevating diverse STEM talent. We're placing the microscope on critical issues and barriers within STEM and supporting underrepresented professionals in taking the leap to their next opportunity. With workshops to build your CV and personal brand, to talks from role models in your field, our communities will cover topics and trends that are relevant to you.
