Sponsors

The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation is Western Australia’s lead agency for economic development, international trade and investment and tourism. The Department also leads the development of the defence, international education, science and innovation sectors in Western Australia. The Department is coordinating the implementation of the State STEM skills strategy, which recognises that STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills are critical for future jobs and aims to ensure that all Western Australians have the opportunity to participate in a STEM future. The Department’s sponsorship is provided in recognition of the contributions the WITWA Techtrails program makes to engaging students, teachers, business leaders and the broader community – particularly females – in STEM.
