Abstract

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is currently a national priority for Australia and many other countries with a skilled workforce in the area considered a high priority (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2017). Underpinning much of this focus is the need to produce a future workforce with the intellectual capacity, knowledge and employability skills necessary to ensure economic prosperity for a competitive global economy (Australian Government, 2015; Becker & Parker, 2011). Aligned to this global STEM focus, the national government in Australia implemented the National Innovation and Science Agenda to drive smart ideas that create economic growth, local jobs and global success. It focuses on four key pillars.
