STEM Jobs for the Future
In this project, teachers from across Europe collaborate to develop innovative teaching materials that integrate career orientation directly into the classroom. Working in international teams, the participants create digital and interactive resources that help students understand how the skills they build in the classroom translate into the competencies they will need for current and future career paths in STEM.
How to bring STEM Jobs into the Classroom?
Many students struggle to see the real-world value of STEM skills and how they connect to future careers in sustainability, AI, big data, and beyond. While career days and company visits provide valuable insights, there is often a gap when it comes to continuous and integrated career orientation within regular STEM education.
This is where our "STEM Jobs for the Future" project, organised by Science on Stage Germany, makes a difference!
Kick-off Meeting
From 7–9 November 2025, 23 teachers from 15 countries met in Berlin for the kick-off meeting of the "STEM Jobs for the Future" project. During this meeting, participants got to know each other better, explored the topic of career orientation in STEM education in greater depth, developed ideas, and formed working groups.
More information about the kick-off event can be found on our blog.
What’s next?
Throughout 2026, teachers will continue to work together in international teams to further develop their ideas. As a result, digital teaching materials on career orientation in STEM will be created – featuring interactive elements such as project-based learning modules, escape games, podcasts, quizzes, apps, and much more.
In 2027, all materials will be published as Open Educational Resources (OER) on the websites of Science on Stage Germany and Science on Stage Europe – available in both English and German.
