STEM Skills to Build a Sustainable Europe by 2030
STEM SKILLS ARE CRITICAL TO BUILD BACK BETTER
Join the european Roundtable on STEM Skill at the sdg summit 2020
TOGETHER WITH Amgen, IBM, and Johnson & Johnson, WE WILL SHOWCASE THE RESULTS OF SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION IN FOSTERING STEM SKILLS AND TALENTS
Education is not only a fundamental human right. It is an enabling right with direct impact on the realization of all other human rights. In this sense, the pandemic is a call to renew the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. As observed by Andreas Schleicher in the OECD Report “The Impact of Covid-19 on Education”: “Ensuring that all young people have the opportunity to succeed at school and develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that will allow them to contribute to society is at the heart of the global agenda and education’s promise to our future society”.
However, ensuring quality education during covid-19 continues to be challenging. According to the United Nations, “as of mid-July 2020, over one billion learners are still affected (by school closures), representing 61 per cent of the world’s total enrolment.”
With the disruption brought about the coronavirus, urgent action from all is needed to prevent a learning crisis from becoming a generational catastrophe. Partners of Together 4 STEM accelerated their collaboration to make the education of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics more accessible for students and teachers alike. As a result, Amgen, IBM, and Johnson & Johnson launched of STEM@Home: a digital learning platform pooling together a rich collection of free, world-class, multi-lingual resources and tools on STEM topics.
Join the European SDG Roundtable on STEM Skills on 30th October and discover how Amgen, IBM, and Johnson & Johnson are successfully collaborating to foster STEM skills and talents. You will have the opportunity to engage directly with their experts on the multifaceted aspects of learning, teaching, and working within STEM fields. Together, we will also investigate the relevance of STEM fields, during and post-pandemic, as well as the future of virtual learning.
STEM@Home and the collaboration of Amgen, IBM, and Johnson & Johnson in the framework of Together 4 STEM, aims to outlast the coronavirus. STEM skills and mindsets are essential in many jobs of the future, generated by technological disruption, digitalization and automation. According to the World Economic Forum: “by the end of 2020, the Data and AI professional cluster will represent 78 out of every 10,000 job opportunities—by 2022, this share is expected to rise to 100 out of every 10,000 job opportunities”.
If you are interested in the future of work and STEM education this STEM Roundtable is for you.
