As a teacher, not only will you be providing a rich context for effective STEM project-based learning, but you will be setting up your students for careers of the future. It is quite a challenge to prepare students for careers that have not yet been invented. This chapter looks at some of the future careers, first considering opportunities to form partnerships and the way they can be developed. It then outlines some of the STEM connections that exist in Australia at three levels: through governments (both federal and state), at the organisational level and at the local level through industry and community groups. STEM informal and formal learning opportunities, activities and events are presented as mini-case studies that fit within these three areas.
