During this series of Podcasts, we explore the excellent work of CIHT STEM Ambassadors and why being a STEM Ambassador is so important to the Highways & Transportation Industry. We will be looking at the positive impact that STEM Ambassadors have, through the different perspectives of Teachers, Employers, STEM Learning, STEM Ambassadors themselves as well as an introduction from CIHT’s very own President, Deborah Simms, who is a STEM Ambassador herself. STEM Ambassadors and the activities they undertake are crucial to the development of and inspiring the next generation to get involved in the industry and make a lasting difference. STEM Ambassadors inspire young people to continue studying STEM subjects and help them to explore the applications of their studies in the wider world. They broaden career horizons, raise aspirations, and build understanding of the role that these subjects play in everyone’s lives. STEM Ambassadors offer children the opportunity to imagine and demonstrate solutions to real-world transport problems and evaluate how their work and future technologies can shape the world.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/5520373/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Business News</category><copyright>Copyright CIHT</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/nuvolari-assets/blue_square_mic.jpg</url><title>STEM Ambassadors Inspire</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/stem-ambassadors-inspire--5520373</link></image><lastBuildDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:15:49 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>CIHT</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>CIHT</itunes:name><itunes:email>feeds@spreaker.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/nuvolari-assets/blue_square_mic.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Why are STEM Ambassadors so important?
