When it comes to truly world-changing professions - people who are advancing new technologies to improve lives, exploring the wonders of the universe or creating breakthroughs in science and health – they fall under one banner: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
We live in a technology rich society that is going through major digital transformation. Jobs in STEM are predicted to grow exponentially in coming years, outpacing the number of young people pursuing these fields and resulting in a significant skills gap. This skills gap is compounded by the poor attraction and retention of women in STEM.
Careers in STEM are growing fast. Your support will help RMIT STEM students prepare for the future world of work and enable talented young women the support they need to break into STEM careers.

Now she’s keen to be “part of changing and evolving biomedical technologies in Australia”, helping others to lead healthier lives.
I see the future of my career in biomedical engineering being a benefit to the community in many ways and biomedical technologies as a constantly appreciating asset and resource we can dive into."
