There remains significant under-representation of Indigenous Australians and other groups in technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers, and across the country there’s a patchwork of education initiatives that attempt to increase pathways in the vocational and higher education systems and into the technology and defence industries.

This half-day conference will canvas a range of curriculum and engagement initiatives in cyber-security and STEM as well as government and industry responses to both support those already in work, and to attract diverse candidates. What can defence, and defence-related sectors, do to support the next generation of technology champions? 

This invitation-only event is a component of the Defence-funded IndigiCyber STEM Pathway Grant, part of ASPI’s IndigiCyber, Defence and Space Program.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only, please speak to Gabriel Zito for further information.
