MAXIMISE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES WITH STEM!

 

75 per cent of the fastest growing jobs require STEM skills! We hear this a lot. But what does it really mean?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) helps us understand and make sense of the world. It provides the tools to cure deadly diseases, design future proof cities and make sense of increasing volumes of data and new technologies. Studying and working in STEM equips you to solve problems, shape lives and build futures. It’s about having the agility to embrace the new and creativity to innovate tomorrow.

Choose maths today and be ready for the amazing careers of the future.

Girls are nearly 50% less likely to study advanced level mathematics in Year 12 than boys – Let’s change this!

Dr Alan Finkel
Australia’s Chief Scientist – 2016

Australia is already a global leader in science. Imagine what we could achieve if women and men felt equally welcomed and appreciated in STEM professions.
