With a goal of supporting young Australians to discover a career in STEM, Lockheed Martin Australia has supported the not-for-profit NYSF as a major partner since 2014.
It is expected that the renewed partnership will support a range of programs, including the NYSF Year 12 Program, NYSF Connect alumni program and the NYSF Student Staff Leadership Program.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the NYSF. Lockheed Martin Australia acknowledges the importance of inspiring the next generation to pursue STEM careers by showing today’s students how exciting and rewarding these jobs can be,” Warren McDonald, chief executive of Lockheed Martin Australia said.
“Advancing STEM is a critical focus area. Our future success depends on a constant supply of highly trained, capable talent for the nation. Together with the NYSF, we are committed to growing the future STEM workforce here in Australia.”
Lockheed Martin Australia’s support was welcomed by chief executive officer of NYSF Dr Melanie Bagg, noting that the organisation was looking forward to shaping the next generation of STEM workers.
“Lockheed Martin Australia has demonstrated their commitment to encouraging STEM study and career choices through a range of outreach and training initiatives. With this renewed sponsorship of the NYSF, Lockheed Martin Australia has committed close to a decade of support and will have helped over 5,000 young people find their STEM study path, understand the range of exciting jobs and plan a career they are passionate about,” Dr Bagg said.
“Lockheed Martin Australia understands our vision and shares our passion for educating and inspiring a diverse range of young people to be tomorrow’s scientists, engineers and mathematicians. Support from companies such as Lockheed Martin Australia enables the NYSF to show students real-world STEM jobs and the diverse industry applications of STEM.”
