How do we connect your child with our industry partners?
STEMConnections provides your children with the opportunity to connect with industry professionals who have partnered with us to provide valuable work experience.
Your child can create a STEMConnections profile free of charge. Their profile will be verified by yourself and their school.
The information from the student profiles that is provided to our industry partners is limited to:
- industry area of interest
- school written reference
- gender
- subjects
- school grades
Your child’s safety
STEMConnections take online safety and privacy very seriously.
All contact from our industry members is made via your child’s school. Our industry partners all have Working with Children’s Checks (WWCs), follow Child Safe Standards, comply with amended Ministerial Order 382 and have undergone our rigorous risk assessment.
To find out more about requirements around work experience visits and the requirement for our industry partners visit the Department of Education and Training website: (www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/teachingresources/careers/work/Pages/workexperience.aspx)
When your child creates a profile page you will be required to verify the information that is provided. You will need to create a login to do this.
