STEM Industry Partnerships

The underlying success of the program lies in the partnerships between leading Australian companies, government organisations, universities and industry.  A major focus of the program is to create engaging content designed to develop the future-focused workforce. 

Effective school-industry partnerships ensure that students, parents and members of the wider community develop greater awareness of the current and future career opportunities and knowledge of industry pathways that are available in their local area. 

These partnerships also facilitate in providing real-world STEM educational opportunities for students. Partners work with local Academies of STEM Excellence, through advisory groups, to strengthen connections with the wider community and assist with the design of contextualised STEM curriculum and activities.
