M MATHEMATICS

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics. The world is becoming increasingly digitised

and technologically advanced, and the changemakers

behind these shifts are the geniuses in STEM!

STEM Careers are even dubbed “tomorrow’s jobs” because of

how necessary they’re becoming in our future-focused

societies.

The term dates back to

the 1990s by the

National Science

Foundation, an

American organisation

who wanted to

promote the

importance of science

and engineering in

education.

HOW TO GET STARTED: STEM PATHWAYS

STEM careers usually require a bachelor’s degree at the least,

and there are also many positions that require a Master's

degree or PhD. However, if you love learning, this shouldn’t put

you off!

Diploma of Laboratory,

Information, Dental, or

Engineering Technology,

Diploma of Nursing,

Agriculture, Conservation.

Certificate IV in

Information Technology,

Cyber Security, or

Plumbing & Services.

Certificate III in

Telecommunications,

Engineering, or Process

Manufacturing.

Advanced Diploma of

Engineering.

Some argue that the addition of arts diminishes the importance

of traditional STEM subjects. Others argue that arts doesn’t

mean less time is spent on science, technology, engineering

and maths subjects, rather that arts is an important addition!

STEAM puts more emphasis on creativity and critical thinking.

While skills like maths and science seem pretty vital for say, a

future engineering career, employers still see the value in

humanities-related knowledge too!

There is some debate about moving from STEM to STEAM:

THE DEBATE:

STEM stands for science,

technology, engineering and

mathematics.

The term STEM was coined in the

early 2000s to help promote this

important career pathway to future

generations in the education

setting.

STEAM stands for science, technology,

engineering, arts and mathematics.

The arts aspect encompasses visual arts,

language, physical arts, music and more.

This stems (pun intended) from the idea

that arts is an important component

within science, technology, engineering

and mathematics subjects.

STEAM

It’s no secret that the world is rapidly

changing, and our future jobs and career

pathways are changing too!

Even jobs that didn’t exist ten years ago

(like podcast producers and social media

managers) are now in high demand. It’s

pretty clear that students need to be well-equiped for what

the future of work holds - and STEAM education is the key!
