CSIRO, in collaboration with CareerTrackers Indigenous Internship Program Limited, have been provided funds to design and deliver a national 10-year Young Indigenous Women’s STEM Academy for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander female and female-identifying students from year 8 through higher education and to graduate employment.
