Showcasing the Future of STEM
We spotlight early-career brilliance in science, tech, engineering and mathematics and the employers who get it.
Employer Awards
Talent follows reputation.
We highlight the employers creating genuine opportunities, not just ticking boxes. These are for the employers that are laser focused on the future and finding the talent that will help them get there.
🏆 Recognition as a student-first employer
📈 Attract the next generation of innovators
🤝 Help shape the future of STEM careers
What Are The STEM Awards?
In 2026 we will be hosting two award events that aim to shine a spotlight on:
-
Super-students already making big waves in STEM fields
-
Future-focused employers looking to build brands that get students pounding at the door for opportunities
Over 1 million new STEM roles are expected in the UK by 2030.
So, whether you're an employer or student - we help you stand out.
Student Awards
Not just for the top of the class.
We’re celebrating the thinkers, builders, coders, creators - the students doing brilliant things that don’t always show in exam results.
📣 National recognition for real-world impact
🔍 Get seen by top STEM employers
🚀 A launchpad for your future career
How We're Different
We don't do a back-pat and buffet...
We're bending over backwards to find the bright sparks, future leaders, and brands that dare to be different.
🎓 Student-first, not status-obsessed
🚀 Built for the movers and makers - not just the talkers
🤝 Connecting real talent with real opportunity
It’s the first STEM awards of its kind - and we think it’s about time.

Our first-ever STEM Awards are coming in early 2026 - and we’re giving a select group of sponsors the chance to back it from day one.
Sponsoring an award or category is an unmissable opportunity to promote your company to the future generation of talent in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
So, whether you're a multi-national employer or a genre-changing start-up, this is your chance to be seen as leading from the front.
