STEM TAKING SCHOOLS BY STORM An increased focus on STEM education is one of the most influential initiatives to reach schools in recent years. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The world has become increasingly complex and competitive, and today’s youth need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to evaluate ideas and turn them into productive applications. These are two of the key hallmarks of STEM.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO CONSIDER JOINING THE FORCES The Canadian Armed Forces is a Federal government organization that consists of professional individuals dedicated to the protection of Canadian national values. We have over 100 full time employment options, extending between our three elements (Navy, Army & Airforce). There are many reasons to consider joining the Forces, ranging from such tangible benefits as paid education and competitive salaries to the incomparable feeling of pride and teamwork coupled with the knowledge that one is making a difference in Canada and throughout the world. We are hiring and look forward to meeting dedicated, motivated individuals who are up for a challenge. For more information visit forces.ca to learn about our opportunities.
According to the National Science Foundation, STEM subjects include chemistry, computer and information technology science, engineering, geosciences, life sciences, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, social sciences (anthropology, economics, psychology and sociology), and STEM education and learning research. Recognizing that more and more students are gravitating toward STEM-focused fields and that projected STEM job rates are rising steadily, schools have begun to beef up their offerings with regard to STEM subjects. Jobs in mathematics, computer system analysis, systems software, and biomedical engineering are just some of the careers in which anywhere from a 15 to 62 percent increase between 2010 and 2020 is predicted, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Individuals may believe that STEM study begins in high school, but the success of older students in STEM subjects is often shaped much earlier on. That’s why parents and educators can do much to cultivate an interest in natural and social sciences as well as in

math as early as possible. Here are a few ideas to do just that. • Encourage participation in the community. Various national clubs and science-based organizations have begun to pay more attention to STEM and offer activities that foster a greater love of science, engineering and math. By joining such clubs and organizations, students can learn more about these subjects and reinforce their enjoyment. • Set up an internship or meet-and-greet. Take students to STEM-centered places of employment so they can get a firsthand experience from within the STEM trenches. Provide opportunities for students to chat with people in the field and ask questions about the type of schooling necessary to pursue a particular degree, and if any hobbies and other activities promote STEM learning. • Investigate school-based opportunities. Schools are broadening course offerings and also establishing STEM-based clubs. Students have the opportunity to get involved with other like-minded classmates. If a club isn’t already available, a teacher or a parent can consider volunteering to serve as the head of the club. STEM is a hot topic of discussion in the world of education. Students can expect to get plenty of exposure to science- and math-related topics both inside and out of the classroom.

EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING The Kitselas Employment & Training Department works closely with Kitselas members seeking employment and training. The department is focused on members gaining fulfilling, stable, well-paid, long-term employment, for unemployed or underemployed members who are able to work. The department aims to provide the supports, training and experience members need to work in long-term jobs expected to be in high demand in the near future. Available certification and training programs often depend on available funding from government and other partners, who help Kitselas offer these programs. Most training and certification programs are free to Kitselas members.
The path to full-time employment is not always easy nor direct. The economy is constantly fluctuating in Northwest BC, and each individual has his or her own barriers and opportunities.
Recognizing that each member and participant is different, the program is fluid and allows participants to move up and down throughout the stages, and at their own pace.
The Kitselas Employment & Training Department aims to meet each member exactly where they are at – in life, and in their employment and training journey. The department aims to build up each individual’s skills and confidence, as well as offer them the programs and experience they need to succeed.
The department also aims to support members in their search for employment. Staff will do as much as possible to help members find a position that works for them. However, while the department aims to prepare members as much as possible and according to the current job market, staff cannot guarantee employment for training participants.
All members must participate in an initial intake assessment. Department staff and the member then work together to create an individualized action plan for the member. Depending on the initial assessment, participants will start in one of the following tiers of the departments 5-tier program:
