Opportunity
Everyone can participate once the location between work and place is broken
Challenges
~28 of jobs involve use of vehicle+
47 of jobs are in categories subject to computerisation
o Jobs that are least at risk require
bull Creative intelligence
bull Social intelligence
bull Perception and manipulation
o BUT ndash they did not look at in reduction in demand in the other categories
Education needs to consider this future in terms of student selection course design
course capacity
The Future of Employment
Hugh Bradlow - STEM Education Conference 25
FreyCB and OsborneMA (September 2013) THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO
COMPUTERISATION Oxford Martin School Working Paper
+Telstra study based on ABS employment data
copy 2015 Telstra Corporation Limited All rights reserved
Multidisciplinary teams
Empathy in relationships
STEM (Science Technology Engineering Maths) as a new literacy
Technology is NOT a black box
o An understanding of the logic is essential to deal with the inevitable bugs
Understanding the scientific method
o Evidence based research with independent replication
Free thinking

People who donrsquot understand STEM will struggle in the new world
Example of evolution
o 13 of Americans donrsquot believe in evolution1
o Another 24 believe people evolved but by ldquoIntelligent Designrdquo1
o The scary thing is a quarter of 18-29 year olds believe humans existed in current form from the
beginning1
Example of climate change
o ldquoIn 2014 the vast majority (87 percent) of scientists said that human activity is driving global
warming and yet only half the American public ascribed to that viewrdquo2
o ldquo77 percent of scientists said climate change is a very serious problem In comparison only 33
percent of the general public said it was a very serious problem in a 2013 pollrdquo2
Example of GMO
o Only 37 of adults believe it is safe to eat genetically modified foods compared to 88 of scientists2
STEM The new literacy

Encouraging secondary students to pursue STEM careers
~18 of the Australian workforce has STEM qualifications1
o Jobs in these fields grew at 15 times the rate of other jobs in the
economy in recent years1
Australian university graduates in STEM in are not keeping pace2
Participation by primary and secondary school students in STEM
subjects is actually decreasing2
Many fine initiatives ndash eg

Developing STEM literacy for primary students
Long term the answer is improved training for teachers
In the meantime we need to deal with the reality that this generation of teachers need help
A proposal provide support to both teachers and students at primary school through 2
initiatives
A unified portal
o Many resources online ndash no need to create new content
o However teachers are currently inundated with initiatives
bull A simple lesson by lesson guide to the ONE resource is required
o Bridge International Academy is an example of how you can change the educational system
An on-demand online support group
o Use the technology to connect teachers and students to trainers
o Sign-onSign-off model for trainers

Conclusions

Digital technology is creating a new world
STEM literacy is a necessary condition for success in this new world
We need to prepare our children for the challenge
Digital technology creates an opportunity to transform the education system

Developing STEM literacy for primary students
Long term the answer is improved training for teachers
In the meantime we need to deal with the reality that this generation of teachers need help
A proposal provide support to both teachers and students at primary school through 2
initiatives
A unified portal
o Many resources online ndash no need to create new content
o However teachers are currently inundated with initiatives
bull A simple lesson by lesson guide to the ONE resource is required
o Bridge International Academy is an example of how you can change the educational system
An on-demand online support group
o Use the technology to connect teachers and students to trainers

People who donrsquot understand STEM will struggle in the new world
Example of evolution
o 13 of Americans donrsquot believe in evolution1
o Another 24 believe people evolved but by ldquoIntelligent Designrdquo1
o The scary thing is a quarter of 18-29 year olds believe humans existed in current form from the
beginning1
Example of climate change
o ldquoIn 2014 the vast majority (87 percent) of scientists said that human activity is driving global
warming and yet only half the American public ascribed to that viewrdquo2
o ldquo77 percent of scientists said climate change is a very serious problem In comparison only 33
percent of the general public said it was a very serious problem in a 2013 pollrdquo2
Example of GMO
o Only 37 of adults believe it is safe to eat genetically modified foods compared to 88 of scientists2

Encouraging secondary students to pursue STEM careers
~18 of the Australian workforce has STEM qualifications1
o Jobs in these fields grew at 15 times the rate of other jobs in the
economy in recent years1
Australian university graduates in STEM in are not keeping pace2
Participation by primary and secondary school students in STEM
subjects is actually decreasing2

Developing STEM literacy for primary students
Long term the answer is improved training for teachers
In the meantime we need to deal with the reality that this generation of teachers need help
A proposal provide support to both teachers and students at primary school through 2
initiatives
A unified portal
o Many resources online ndash no need to create new content
o However teachers are currently inundated with initiatives
bull A simple lesson by lesson guide to the ONE resource is required
o Bridge International Academy is an example of how you can change the educational system
An on-demand online support group
o Use the technology to connect teachers and students to trainers
o Sign-onSign-off model for trainers

People who donrsquot understand STEM will struggle in the new world
Example of evolution
o 13 of Americans donrsquot believe in evolution1
o Another 24 believe people evolved but by ldquoIntelligent Designrdquo1
o The scary thing is a quarter of 18-29 year olds believe humans existed in current form from the
beginning1
Example of climate change
o ldquoIn 2014 the vast majority (87 percent) of scientists said that human activity is driving global
warming and yet only half the American public ascribed to that viewrdquo2
o ldquo77 percent of scientists said climate change is a very serious problem In comparison only 33
percent of the general public said it was a very serious problem in a 2013 pollrdquo2

In the meantime we need to deal with the reality that this generation of teachers need help
A proposal provide support to both teachers and students at primary school through 2
initiatives
A unified portal
o Many resources online ndash no need to create new content
o However teachers are currently inundated with initiatives
bull A simple lesson by lesson guide to the ONE resource is required
o Bridge International Academy is an example of how you can change the educational system
An on-demand online support group
