Returner or Transferrer:
Not sure if you’re a returner or a transferrer? Learn the differences and see how we can help you find the right path into STEM.
Returners: Reignite Your STEM Career
If you’ve previously worked in STEM and are now looking to re-enter the industry after a career break, you’re a returner.
Whether you’ve been away for months or years, we understand the challenges of stepping back into a rapidly evolving field.
Our tailored programmes are here to help you rebuild your confidence, update your skills, and reconnect with your professional network.
Reasons for career breaks may include:
- Parenting or caregiving responsibilities: Taking time away to care for family members or raise children.
- Health challenges or recovery: Addressing personal health needs or supporting loved ones through theirs.
- Redundancy, relocation, or other personal circumstances: Navigating life changes that temporarily paused your career.
- Education or training: Pursuing further qualifications or exploring new areas of interest.
Transferrers: Transition into or Within STEM
If you’re ready to transfer your skills into STEM from another industry, or if you’re looking to shift focus within STEM, you’re a transferrer.
Transitioning careers can feel overwhelming, and many talented professionals find themselves working below their true capabilities. Your experience, expertise, and transferable skills deserve recognition, and with the right guidance, your existing experience can open doors to exciting new opportunities.
Our programmes are designed to help you translate your skills, connect with employers, and start building a successful STEM career.
Common profiles of transferrers include:
- Professionals from non-STEM industries such as IT, finance, or teaching who want to bring their expertise to STEM.
- STEM professionals looking to transition between sectors, like moving from aerospace to renewable energy or exploring data science.
- Individuals entering high-demand fields such as energy, nuclear, or biotechnology, eager to maximise their skills and contributions.
- Military professionals transitioning into civilian STEM careers, leveraging technical expertise, leadership skills, and problem-solving experience.
