Ithaca Group was commissioned to examine the STEM and digital literacy skills needed to prepare young people for work and consider the role of the Australian Curriculum in supporting the development of those skills.

The key to project success

Profiling STEM and digital skills across a small number of selected industries in order to understand what these skills look like in practice.

Outcomes

The resource confirmed that digital literacy is as important as language, literacy and numeracy skills, and confirmed that there is a distinction between digital literacy and technology.
