Aotearoa is facing a skills shortage in the STEM industries, and we know more investment in the STEM skills pipeline is critical. Businesses and organisations have a part to play in building our future workforce but you may be wondering HOW you can make a difference. Effective community engagement can raise awareness of STEM career pathways and support educators to build STEM skills.
The STEM Alliance is a membership programme that gives you access to a science engagement community, allowing you to develop effective community outreach, network with similar organisations, and be recognised for your efforts. We provide the resources, tools and connections to maximise the impact of your organisation’s community engagement efforts. Together with educators and communities, we aim to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals and develop a sustainable, equitable STEM skills pipeline.
The STEM Alliance has been under development for several years, with some of the nation’s biggest STEM businesses represented on the Steering Group, helping to shape its vision and mission. If you are interested in joining us on this journey, contact us for more information.

We are a community of practice bringing together the facilitators of the large number of community science engagement efforts occurring across Aotearoa, for a more informed approach with positive and sustainable outcomes.
