A brand‑new STEM careers leaflet is now available from the IOR. It's the perfect resource for anyone inspiring young people to explore opportunities in the cooling sector. It highlights the essential role cooling plays in modern life, the exciting range of career paths available, and those all‑important insights into progression and salary potential.

One side of the leaflet is dedicated to what students and apprentices gain from joining the IOR, including full access to the IOR technical library (available on a handy app!), which contains hundreds of bulletins to support their studies. And don’t forget: apprentices can join the IOR for free while they’re training. Find out more here.

You can download the leaflet by visiting our STEM Ambassadors page.

STEM Ambassadors who are part of the IOR STEM Ambassador Network can also request printed copies to be posted to them: simply get in touch with Matt Harvey at matt@ior.org.uk to order yours.
