STEM Conversations - Newcastle | National Science Week
Bringing together industry, community and curious minds in STEM and the built environment
National Science Week: STEM Conversations is your chance to hear directly from University of Newcastle graduates working across STEM and the built environment. You will learn about the diverse directions their studies have taken them, and gain insights you can apply to your own career journey.
The evening features small-group conversations where alumni share their journeys. They will talk about where they started, and where they are now; offering a snapshot of the wide range of industries, roles and experiences available to STEM graduates. The event then moves into a relaxed networking session, with pizza and casual bites provided. This gives you the chance to chat one-on-one with alumni, and gain honest insights into study choices, career pathways and industry experiences.
