STEM ambassador quote: • Rosie Mawdsley – STEM Ambassador Hub Manager for Greater Manchester “I feel the new format is so clear and straightforward that more ambassadors will feel confident to lead the sessions themselves. They have always been interested to support as role models but it would be great to see more of them setting up and running their own sessions at work and at local schools/groups. I think the new format will help to achieve this increase.”
Company Profiles
On the profiles, there is also space for useful links and for photos provided by you.
Towards the bottom of the company profile page, you can view all of the role models who are linked to that particular company.
The company logo will then appear at the top of all role model profiles that are linked to it.
