Geraldton (May 9th)
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 Regions Careers Panel Discussion aims to address. Attendees will receive professional advice from STEM experts, career professionals, and industry leaders
4:30pm - speed networking with 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 schools in Geraldton, Mandurah & Busselton
✔ Only 37% of students study any STEM subjects at secondary level. WOW!

Our Panel of Industry Experts
STEM in the City was conceived in 2022 to help students (and parents) in upper primary & secondary years to provide awareness of the diverse career prospects within STEM industries. With the growing popularity and success of the STEM in the City events, STEM in the Regions was added in 2024 to provide the same opportunities to those in regional centres.
