Red Rock Renewables has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the next generation of renewable energy experts by sponsoring Edinburgh Science’s Careers Hive event.
The four-day event, held at the National Museum of Scotland at the end of October, offered over 2000 students from across Edinburgh and the Lothians an interactive introduction to the wide range of careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Aimed at students in P7–S3 and members of the public of all ages, Careers Hive encourages young people to think differently about their futures and highlights the skills and subjects that can support and enhance STEM-based career opportunities.
STEM Ambassadors from Red Rock Renewables were actively involved in the event, leading the hands-on “Generating Power” activity. Students were able to explore how energy is produced and talk to the Red Rock team about potential career pathways and the transferable skills that are needed to thrive in the sector.
Clare Hart-McCullagh, Head of Corporate Support at Red Rock Renewables, said: “We are proud to support Careers Hive and play a vital role in inspiring the next generation of innovators. Events like this not only spark curiosity but also help young people see how their skills and interests can shape a sustainable future.”
Hassun El-Zafar, Director and CEO at Edinburgh Science, said: “As the demand for STEM skills continues to grow, addressing the skills gap is more urgent now than ever before. Thanks to the support of Red Rock Renewables, we are able to provide students a new way to think about their skills and strengths, and consider the varied opportunities available to them in the future.”
Through its sponsorship and ambassador involvement, Red Rock Renewables continues to champion STEM education and highlight the exciting opportunities available within the renewable energy sector.
