YGN: Chain Reaction Early Careers Competition
Following the success of the Chain Reaction STEAM Series and last year's early careers initiatives, we're launching a competition focused on creating engaging STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) content for social media channels.
This is your chance, apprentices and university students, to get involved and showcase your creativity while promoting the nuclear sector. Keep an eye out for more details on how you can participate and contribute to a library of accessible, engaging, and factual STEAM content.

One of the key roles you can take on as a Nuclear Institute YGN volunteer is STEM ambassadorship...
YGN STEM Ambassadors plan, organise and deliver learning activities that provide hands-on and relevant experiences for students studying STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects.
Sparking young people’s imagination and informing them of the opportunities relating to careers underpinned by STEM-related skills is vital to ensuring a vibrant nuclear industry in the future. It is also a really effective way of developing public perceptions of nuclear technology.
Delivered in the right way, STEM activities can engage students and equip them with critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills they will need for a career in the nuclear industry.
STEM Ambassadors can also help young people develop the connections between school, the work place, the community and the global economy; teaching them the importance of education and social responsibility.
The UK’s network of STEM ambassadors is run by STEM Learning, who strive to deliver their vision and purpose by working with thousands of schools, colleges and STEM employers, to enable young people of all backgrounds and abilities to meet inspiring role models, understand real world applications of STEM subjects and experience hands-on STEM activities that motivate, inspire and bring learning and career opportunities to life.
