IFST launches new careers Web site
IFST launches new careers Web site
As part of its programme to encourage more young people to consider a scientific career, the Institute of Food Science & Technology has launched a special Web site aimed at 14-18 year olds showing the wide range of career opportunities in food science and technology.
The site illustrates the role of science in a typical teenager's meal, provides a series of graduate and undergraduate profiles, together with a database of universities and colleges offering courses, including links to universities' own Web sites. There is also an interactive quiz.
For teachers, there is a list of resources for lesson ideas and a series of experiments showing the role of the sciences in the study of food.
The new site may be visited at: www.foodtechcareers.org
