It emphasises strategies that promote active exploration of, and engagement with, study pathways in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and careers in non-traditional occupations and industries, and identifies how career choices and long-term economic outcomes can be improved for Australian women. It includes a range of innovative practices in Australian secondary schools that aim to assist young women to convert their school success to career success in STEM and other non-traditional occupations and industries. Consultations for this research focussed on identifying best practice approaches to careers' exploration for young women.
