BUSINESS SPONSORS FOR TEENTECH SURREY 2013 - INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS


Who?
Institute of Directors, Surrey http://www.iod.com/connecting/local-networks/south/surrey

What?
The Surrey branch of the Institute of Directors has around 3,000 members from over 60 different industry sectors working in companies ranging from sole traders to national and global corporations. IoD Surrey organises an active programme of inspirational and value business events across the County. With more than 20% of the membership operating in the STEM arena, IoD Surrey wash instrumental in bringing Teen Tech to Surrey and is delighted to be sponsoring the event for the second year running.

So What?!
Janet Preston, IoD Surrey Education Liaison said: "With the current Government’s priorities shifting the balance of the UK economy towards manufacturing and engineering, the need for STEM graduates is acute. At the heart of this dilemma is the need to encourage students to pursue STEM GCSE and A levels - and Teen Tech is tailored made to help do this. It shows our young people that there are many and varied careers in science, engineering, technology and maths that are exciting; well-paid and just applicable to women as they are to men”.
