The reality is that in South Africa, we have a lack of skilled resources when it comes to careers that require a STEM/STEAM background.
STEM career opportunities extend beyond becoming scientists or mathematicians and we need to be doing more to encourage and educate our youth on the diversity of options!👏
To celebrate National STEM/STEAM day, we’re introducing you to some of Fireblade’s inspiring, young professionals whose careers are rooted in STEM/STEAM subjects. 🥳
Help us raise more awareness, by sharing your STEM rooted career in the comments!😁

Working in aviation isn’t just about flying! It’s #YouthDay on 16th June, and to inspire South Africa’s young people to see the diverse choice of careers in aviation, we want to introduce you to Taylor Jansen van Vuuren, our Junior Sous Chef at Fireblade.
She prepares food for in-flight aircraft passengers and crew as well as fine dining experiences at our FBO. Every day presents a different challenge. You need to think 10 steps ahead! “Being a chef in the aviation world is a whole new experience; I’m not just working behind the scenes in the kitchen, I get to meet crew and passengers too.”
From the flavours, to the presentation, there is a lot to plan and think about when you are preparing quality food for sky-bound clients.
Watch Taylor as she gives us food for thought!
