mid-teens, with 58% of them dismissing<br />
the idea of a STEM career by the<br />
time they reach university. As an<br />
industry, we need to work with schools<br />
and youth organizations to promote<br />
the benefits, opportunities and<br />
satisfaction that careers in technology<br />
offer entrants from all backgrounds.<br />
Doing this successfully means<br />
looking at what motivates young<br />
people. Today’s career entrants are<br />
prioritizing quality of life over the<br />
accumulation of physical assets like<br />
cars and houses; they’re looking for<br />
“purpose, not paychecks”. However,<br />
the tech sector is strongly positioned<br />
to provide both. Technology is the<br />
biggest force for change on the planet<br />
right now, capable of solving some of<br />
humanity’s most pressing problems.<br />
Opportunities to make a positive<br />
difference to the world abound and<br />
this should appeal to young people<br />
seeking meaningful careers.<br />
The tech industry is also growing<br />
exponentially at a time when many<br />
traditional industries are facing<br />
disruption. It therefore provides<br />
greater job security for those who<br />
have the skills to be part of it.<br />
