Partner with Us
The Women in STEM Careers (WiSC) Program connects high-achieving STEM students with industry partners. We are currently seeking partners to continue our program into the future.
WiSC provides professional development opportunities to women and non-binary people studying STEM, while acting as a talent identification pipeline program for participating organisations. Through industry partnership, the program promotes diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This program enables early identification of future talent for graduate employment opportunities.
Seeking industry partners
We are seeking industry partners to support the program in 2025.
Numerous tiers of sponsorship options are available. To learn more about which sponsorship package best suits your company, get in touch with the WiSC team here [attach link to email wisc@adelaide.edu.au].
We aim to provide students with exposure to a broad range of STEM careers, opinions and experiences from all career levels. Industry partners may participate in a variety of ways, including:
- Keynote speaking opportunities
- Guest panel positions
- Networking
- Host industry-specific events at your site
- Subject matter training sessions
- Graduate program information sessions
- Providing technical advice
We welcome involvement from STEM industry professionals (of all genders), small to medium enterprises, not-for-profit entities, government and the corporate sector.
We also encourage members of our alumni to get involved. Involvement can take up as little or as much time as partners are able to contribute.
