Crystallising STEM careers: a National Careers Institute partnership grant project
Widening Tertiary Participation Practitioner Seminar (Brisbane, Australia, 24-Jun-2022)
2022
Abstract
The Crystallising STEM Careers project aims to bring about systemic change in STEM career uptake by preparing Year 4 –10 students to make informed decisions about engaging in STEM subjects at school, future transition into tertiary studies and STEM careers. The project will achieve this via innovative STEM-focused career and technical education (CTE) delivered face-to-face in a series of lessons with students in schools and via interactive workshops for parents/carers. This project will provide a unique and valuable opportunity for students and parents/carers in the South East QLD North, Wide Bay Burnett and Central QLD regions, where previously these programs have only been available to students in low socio-economic government schools. This project was funded through the National Career Institute Partnership Grant program.
