In Partnership with Baker Dearing Educational Trust
Welcome to the LUBE Media STEM Ambassador Programme, delivered in partnership with the Baker Dearing Educational Trust – the leading body supporting University Technical Colleges (UTCs) across the UK.
This programme is designed to inspire and engage students who are already studying technical and STEM-focused subjects, helping them to better understand real-world career opportunities within the lubricant and wider engineering, manufacturing, science and technology industries.
Our aim is to introduce young people to the people behind the products, showcasing who we are, what we do, and how our industry plays a vital role in keeping the world moving. Through direct engagement with schools and colleges within the Baker Dearing network, we connect students with industry professionals who can bring their learning to life.
Industry Encounters That Make a Difference
Students will benefit from a hands-on, practical approach to learning through:
- Career insight sessions
- Technical talks
- Industry workshops
- Employer engagement days
- Curriculum enrichment support
Our Industry Ambassadors are experienced professionals from across the lubricants sector – including R&D, engineering, operations, logistics, sales and marketing. They share real career journeys, practical insight and most importantly, demonstrate how without lubricants, modern life simply would not function. As part of the programme, each ambassador will be paired with the three nearest technical colleges in their region, ensuring strong, practical links with local UTCs and maximising opportunities for meaningful engagement.
To support ambassadors in delivering high-quality sessions, we will also provide a comprehensive toolkit, including ready-to-use presentations, activity materials and audience-specific tailored versions of Lube Life, our student-focused publication.
Through this partnership with Baker Dearing, employers from across the UK lubricants industry can directly support UTCs and technical schools by:
- Attending careers fairs and employer days
- Supporting engineering and science projects
- Delivering sector-specific talks
- Engaging with students interested in chemistry, engineering, manufacturing and sustainability
