Australian Technology Industry Shares Talent Perspectives and Student Programs at ACCE 2018
In support of Day of STEM partner, the Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE), an industry led panel was organised by LifeJourney for the ACCE 2018 conference in order for talent insights from the technology employers to be shared with those teaching the next-generation subjects within the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies.
Representatives from Cisco, Optus and the Australian Signals Directorate discussed their workforce needs and what they’re looking for in new recruits from their hard skills in the STEM subjects, subject knowledge and intrapersonal skills in communication, leadership and problem solving. The panel was moderated by Martin Levins, the immediate past President of ACCE and Day of STEM Education Advisory Board member.
Panel Representatives:
