Innovation Pathways
STEMIn order to meet the needs of the country’s future engineering and technology skills requirements, it is vital that there is adequate grounding for young people in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, and that this strategy is part of a robust education supply chain for Australian students.

Stakeholder Collaborations
Stakeholder collaborations aim to:
Ensure high quality research and investigation into motivations and barriers to participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects by school students, especially to fill a significant void in understanding the skills shortage equation; Promote a common and shared understanding of those underlying drivers and motivations; Coordinate the good intentions of the many active parties keen to contribute to a solution, so as to ensure delivery of effective outcomes; Educate, influence and support key stakeholders at all levels: policy makers, the education system itself, teachers, students, the community, and especially industry and business. |
Teachers for the Future Project
The Teachers for the Future Project is an examination of the motivations of tomorrow’s school teachers (education students currently training to become teachers). This project is shedding light on the role they play in school children’s subject and ultimate career choices, at a stage when they can still be influenced. Understanding the teacher relationship to the skills equation provides significant and new insights to enhance the education supply chain.
