Job description

Project manager for STEM ecosystem UiT - interaction and collaboration for STEM recruitment.

To meet the challenges and the need for skills in the north, we need more people in science and technology. To ensure this, we must work together across sectors to increase the science capital and encourage engagement and curiosity for STEM among children and young people.

A STEM ecosystem is a regional network that facilitates interaction and knowledge exchange. Schools, higher education, learning arenas, working life and authorities must work together towards our common goal of increased STEM recruitment. Together, we are brimming with knowledge, insight, engagement and the will to make something happen.

A STEM ecosystem should:

- strengthen the interaction between schools, higher education, working life and learning arenas,
- increase the proportion of pupils with science skills from upper secondary school,
- increase the recruitment to science and technology in higher education.
