BAME Volunteers Required

Do you work in Energy and identify as ‘BAME’?
I am developing a STEM activity for schools to increase awareness and spark curiosity about climate change, the environment and energy amongst students.   The activity will highlight the roles that BAME engineers and scientists play in the journey to Net Zero in a fun and interactive way.
The intention is also to boost awareness of the educational backgrounds and routes to the roles of BAME engineers and scientists and provide inspiration of future careers.
I am looking for volunteers who want to motivate young people to further consider the energy field.  If you would be interested in being involved or would like more information please contact me!

  • I do not see any reason to be offended by this. It would not be necessary if there was a level playing field in the first place.

    I'm minded of how I vote in IET elections. I see mugshots and names, and if I'm being diligent I might look at the personal statements, for what they are worth. But at the end of the day, I'm deciding upon a glance at the photo, do I think this person is open minded, decent, a jobsworth or malicious. Doubtless my judgements are generally incorrect. In the absence of personal familiarity with all of the candidates, does anyone do anything different? I'm always happy to see candidates of mixed gender and ethnicity.
