The Impact of Technological Transformation on Career Choices in the Stem Sector

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of digital transformation on career aspirations in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) sector. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods were used to collect data from various educational institutions and technology companies. The results show that the adoption of digital technology in STEM education increases students' interest and competence in STEM subjects, which directly affects their career aspirations. The research also found that digital skills acquired through STEM education contribute significantly to job readiness in the STEM sector. In addition, the findings highlight the importance of project-based and collaborative learning enriched with digital technologies to prepare students for the changing work environment. This research contributes to the literature by providing insights into how STEM education, accompanied by digital transformation, can shape career aspirations in the STEM sector. Recommendations for education practitioners and policymakers include greater integration of digital technologies in STEM curricula and the development of teacher training programmes to teach with advanced technologies. Implications for career development in the STEM sector are also discussed, emphasising the importance of continuity between education and industry needs.

Innovation in Education Fund Management

“…For example, research previously possible has noted that a lack of transparency in the management of education funds can result in misuse of funds or confusion in the allocation budget. However, research will try to explore various technological information or a fund management model that can increase transparency and accountability, such as the use of digital platforms to track real-time use of funds or the development of an open and easy reporting system understood by all stakeholders (Dewi & Hakiki, 2023;Fathurohman et al, 2023;Subasman & Aliyyah, 2023).…”

Quality Enhancement in Higher Education: Insights from Strategic Plan Implementation

“…With a collective commitment to the vision and mission of the institution, the steps in achieving the desired educational goals can be carried out more cohesively and efficiently (Ansori et al, 2023;Rony et al, 2023;Kilag et al, 2023). In addition, through strategic planning, educational institutions can also adapt to technological developments and the demands of the everchanging job market (Shofiyyah et al, 2023;Manubag et al, 2023;Subasman, I., & Aliyyah, 2023).…”
