The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and The Australian Centre for Career Education (ACCE) are proudly partnering with the support of the Toyota Community Trust, to host the 2024 Teacher Professional Learning in Industry day on Tuesday May 21, 2024.

The day connected secondary mathematics teachers and careers advisors with tertiary educators and industry. The purpose of this professional development opportunity is to provide teachers and careers advisors with information on the enormous and growing demand for mathematics and statistics in the workforce, the industry roles that require mathematical skills, and the appropriate study pathways for these exciting careers.

Mathematics teachers and careers advisors were provided with the resources to:

• Inspire students about the exciting career opportunities available to them when they continue to study mathematical sciences and broader STEM.
• Demonstrate the link between student’s mathematics learning and careers.
• Provide advice on subject choices needed to achieve those careers.
• Help increase participation rates in mathematics and guide students toward careers in high demand.
