Camden STEAM has teamed up with world-leading companies and institutions - such as Google, AstraZeneca, Digital Catapult and UCL - to deliver work experience placements for over 400 Year 12 students across our borough. Organised by Camden Learning’s STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) team, the work experience programme aims to provide local students with hands-on experience at a range of top employers across the borough and help young people gain key skills needed to help them in a future career. Research suggests that young adults who have had engagement with the workplace as teens can earn higher wages in the future. With the support of Camden businesses, institutions and schools, Camden STEAM continues to break barriers, preparing Camden's diverse youth for the careers of tomorrow. Councillor Marcus Boyland, Cabinet Member for Best Start for Children and Families said: 💬 "Camden STEAM’s work experience programme is a brilliant way of connecting young people to the many world-leading companies we have in the borough, playing a significant role in shaping the futures of the participating students and supporting them to learn more about Camden's thriving STEAM economy." Thank you to all 32 employers who participated in the STEAM Work Experience programme! We'd love to hear your stories - comment and share below!

A big thank you to the companies who not only welcome local young people in for work experience, but create really meaningful and exciting projects. Looking forward to continuing to grow the programme and working with even more employers and young people next year!
