On the day you will be able to deep dive into one of the four themes. This event is a participant led workshop and you are invited to nominate which theme you would like to explore on the day.
- Better utilisation of resources: How can we leverage existing frameworks and tools to develop a more meaningful connection between education and industry?
- The role of industry in education: What does the role of educating junior professionals look like for education providers and industry? Where are the connections and what do they look like?
- Interdisciplinary STEM opportunities: How can junior professionals better understand opportunities available to them outside of their chosen STEM field? Who is responsible for advocating these?
- On the job learning: Many young people work casual jobs while studying – other than short term internships, what are the opportunities for junior professionals to develop on-the-job skills within industry while studying.
