How STEM recruitment is shaping the future of technology and innovation

Every innovation starts with curiosity, and on National STEM/STEAM Day, we’re celebrating the thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who turn ideas into impact. Observed annually on 8 November, National STEM Day celebrates the innovators of tomorrow, particularly young people and underrepresented groups finding their place in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 

 

At Lawrence Harvey, we see the impact of STEM every day, connecting driven people with the companies where they can make a difference.
