For around 12 years, Futureintech has been delivering on initiatives designed to stimulate interest in tertiary study and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and more recently, an increased emphasis on the primary industries. It does this through building strong relationships between industry and education communities.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and Callaghan Innovation are looking to evaluate the impact of Futureintech’s programmes to date, and capture baseline data related to the primary industries.
Run by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ), Futureintech is funded by the New Zealand government through Callaghan Innovation and, since late 2015, MPI. Futureintech’s flagship activity is the Ambassador programme which involves early career professionals supporting career promotion, and teaching and learning aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum.
The overall aim of the evaluation is to provide a high quality evidence base and analysis in order to assess the effectiveness and impact of Futureintech’s programmes specifically in terms of the requirements of its funders, but also as a tool for Futureintech to improve its performance and effectiveness overall.
Through the evaluation, MPI and Callaghan Innovation would like to understand more about the impact of Futureintech on different stakeholders. The evaluation will look at what kind of evidence there is of attitudinal change and raised awareness around STEM and the primary industries as a result of an intervention by ambassadors.
We are interested in what impact there has been on schools – that is, students, teachers, career advisors and parents? Also, what have been the impacts on industry and the workforce - industry partners, ambassadors and the ambassadors’ employers? The evaluation needs to provide baseline data related to the primary industries.
