We often spend considerable time deliberating over the purchase of a car or home. However, curiously, we allocate far less time to nurture and plan our most valuable asset: our career.
Furthermore, massive changes resulting from Artificial Intelligence (AI), mining, and the energy transition are significantly reshaping the job market, potentially impacting approximately 40% of global jobs by 2030. Given this uncertainty, how can young people strategically plan their careers?
That’s precisely what the STEM In The City Careers Panel Discussion aims to address. Attendees will receive professional advice from STEM experts, career professionals, and industry leaders
23rd May | 4:30pm - meal & meet the experts | 5:15pm - 6:30pm main event
Parent & child STEM careers event for grade 6-12 students | Event organised by e2 Young Engineers Australia hosted at Scitech
✔ Only 37% of students study any STEM subjects at secondary level. WOW!
✔ Who will take the 75% of all new jobs requiring STEM skills?
✔ Are engineering jobs still in high demand?
✔ Are mining companies still employing STEM graduates?
✔ What's the best pathway to enter STEM industries?
✔ Who loves working in STEM? Who burns out?
This event is for...
- Students in year 6-12 (parent & child event)

✔ Is mining, oil & gas still a good employer for engineers?
✔ Data science and AI skills are in demand. Really?
✔ What are the university offerings for those aspiring to enter STEM industries?
✔ Is this industry inclusive and provide equal opportunities for females and other minority groups?
... and much more.
