An Aberdeen-based global financial firm is supporting a scheme which encourages young people in London to get involved with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Aberdeen Asset Management has made a four-figure donation to the Engineering Development Trust’s Go4Set programme, which allows both make and female school pupils an equal opportunity to work with industry mentors on environmentally-themed STEM projects
Danny Reed, head of development (schools programme) at the trust, said: “Go4Set gives students the opportunity to work with a mentor from industry, and this interaction gives learners a great insight into the world of STEM and the career opportunities that are possible.
“The donation that Aberdeen Asset Management has given to the Education Development Trust will enable a team of students to gain some amazing skills that will help them develop their interest in STEM, and possible pursue a fulfilling career.”
Aberdeen Asset Management’s support of the Go4Set programme links in with the company’s commitment to promoting gender equality, and to reducing the gender pay gap.
