Connecting Educational Institutions to Industries

Skills to be successful in workplace have changed over the last few years but our education is lagging to develop these skills. Shortage of skills is costing corporate billions of dollars each year. STEM industries have experienced the most significant skills gap among workers.

Value of Industry Collaborations

We can inspire the next generation to be confident, capable and creative in solving real-world problems, gaining skills for future success. Here’s where you come in.

With this initiative, we aim to bring success to students, educational institutions, industries and wider community. It’s only possible when we come together.

Industries’ Problems

Industries face several challenges in finding and developing the right workforce for today’s rapidly changing technological landscape. Key issues include:

  • Difficulty in finding workers with the right technical skills and experience
  • Lack of practical, hands-on experience among potential candidates
  • Limited diversity and underrepresentation within STEM fields
  • Keeping up with the rapid pace of technological advancements
  • Mismatch between the skills taught in educational institutions and the actual needs of the industry
  • Public perception of STEM careers, often seen as too difficult or unappealing to pursue

Proposed Solutions

To address these challenges, industries must take a proactive role in shaping the future workforce. Proposed solutions include:

  • Encouraging collaboration with educational institutions to help bridge the skills gap
  • Providing real-world experience and internships to ensure students gain practical skills
  • Supporting initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion within STEM fields
  • Keeping educational resources up-to-date with the latest technological trends and innovations
  • Offering feedback to educational providers on the skills and competencies that are in demand within the industry
  • Enhancing the public perception of STEM careers by showcasing their value and long-term potential

An Extensive collection of over 100 real-world machine prototypes that we can demonstrate to children, providing hands-on education about how things work. Some of our projects include smart farms, autonomous cars, irrigation systems, smart homes, and sanitization stations.

To promote STEM education to a wider audience, it's essential to address the lack of expertise and resources in many communities. Industries can bridge this gap by sponsoring equipment and teacher training programs, ensuring that STEM learning reaches as many students as possible. This support helps small schools and regional areas gain equal access to quality education and opportunities.

One of the simplest ways to bring STEM learning to students who lack access is through sponsored accounts on the STEM simulator. With just a web browser, students can explore and understand the world around them—thanks to your support. We ensure that those in need can engage with STEM and unlock their potential.

A sponsored competition brings everyone together for a common purpose – to innovate and solve problems. It’s an ideal way to create awareness and excitement around STEM in schools and the wider community. Focus is on learning, developing, and participation. Students are eager to get involved while building their confidence and gaining lifelong skills from project-based learning. Parents and teachers can provide support along the way and encourage these future-ready skills.
