We often spend considerable time deliberating over the purchase of a car or home. However, we allocate far less time to nurture and plan our most valuable asset: our career.
Furthermore, many future jobs doesn't exist yet. Combined with massive changes brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI), energy transition, climate crisis and geopolitical uncertainty, the job market is impossible to understand. Given this uncertainty, how can young people strategically plan their careers?
That’s precisely what the STEM In The City Careers Panel Discussion aims to address. Attendees will receive professional advice from STEM experts and industry leaders.

About
The STEM In The City Careers Panel Discussion aims to help families discover STEM pathways and careers opportunities. Ideal for students from grades 6-12. Our collective goal is to raise awareness about the rich and diverse career opportunities within STEM industries. We also strive to debunk common myths, such as the belief that STEM is only for “science/tech types” or those who are “good at math.”
Join the discussion!
We'll be exploring:
✔ What are the actual career prospects in Data science, AI, computer science?
✔ What type of roles are available in STEM industries? Do they pay well?
✔ What does a good career look like? Is it all about the money?
✔ Do banks, government agencies, transport companies employ STEM graduates?
✔ What are the university pathways for those aspiring to enter STEM industries?
✔ Are these industries inclusive and provide equal opportunities for females and other minority groups?
... and much more.
