About
The Western Australian (WA) Government is investing in the State's future STEM workforce through the STEM Engagement Sponsorship program.
Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills underpin the WA Government’s vision for a smart, diversified and decarbonised economy. With STEM jobs growing at twice the rate of other roles, strengthening STEM capability will help ensure Western Australians can participate in emerging opportunities.
The STEM Engagement Sponsorship supports the State’s mission update, Future state, future skills: Accelerating STEM skills for Western Australia, by providing funding to organisations that deliver initiatives aligned to its priority areas:
- Career pathways and industry links – showcasing opportunities and fostering industry engagement to support education and training.
- Diversity and inclusion – attracting and retaining under-represented groups in STEM.
- STEM culture and literacy – building awareness, positive attitudes and foundational STEM literacy skills.
A maximum of up to $30,000 per application can be sought.
Applications for the STEM Engagement Sponsorship are currently closed.
