The Optimising Industry Support for STEM project is a component of the Catholic Education SA STEM Learning Initiative. The CESA STEM Learning Initiative supports an innovative, system-wide approach to STEM teaching and learning with an emphasis on animating our vision and identity as defined by Catholic Education SA’s Living Learning Leading Framework.

Resources for Schools

These resources have been compiled as part of the Optimising Industry Support for STEM project. The aims of this project are to:

• Develop partnerships with industry willing to work with schools on specific STEM or VET related projects
• Provide up to date career information of the opportunities afforded by STEM skills and knowledge
• Raise the profile of VET qualifications in STEM related fields
• Provide professional learning opportunities for teachers

The resources will include VET and career tools for schools to assist in providing up to date information for students, an industry database to connect industry partners with schools and case study videos from current students and alumni. They will showcase some career pathways available in STEM related fields. 

The first part of the project to be released is the STEM Resource page for Teachers.
