The scarcity of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills within the Australian workforce are causing concern in the business community as the Australian economy shifts into the new knowledge economy of the 21st century. In 2011 the first of the children of the science-led space age (The age of Info-tonics) the so-called baby boomers began to retirement and as a result the lac
k of a qualified replacement workforce with the right skills began to really start to become a serious challenge. The issue was raised again recently with the release of “Lifting our Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Skills”, a 2013 report from the Australian Industry Group.The study noted that an estimated three quarters of Australia’s fastest growing occupations require STEM skills, yet approximately one quarter of job applicants do not have the necessary skills and the same number lack workplace experience. The issue is far from unique to Australia. All across the world, the ageing population and a declining interest in STEM careers by new graduates entering the workforce is causing concern among governments and industry. How can companies and economies continue to grow if the requisite skills aren’t there to keep the wheels of industry in motion? To add to the problem, advancements in technology and changes to business practices are raising new challenges and creating demand for new skills at all levels.
