Careers in Australia’s Growing Robotics Sector: A webinar with Robotics Australia Group
Channel: Robotics Australia Group
Date: 2022-04-27

Robotics will impact every sector of the Australian economy and has the potential to achieve enormous social and environmental good. Creating robotic technologies will lead to the jobs of the future through creating new possibilities. 
 
As the sector grows, so too does the demand for skilled and experienced people to work within it. Feedback from the robotics ecosystem suggests there is strong interest among students in late primary and middle school years but this tends to diminish over time and is not leading to those students pursuing studies and subsequent careers in ‘robotics’.
 
This webinar for Robotics Australia Group aims to share the experiences of panellists in careers in robotics increase awareness of the variety of careers in robotics and related sectors.  In particular, RAG will target schools currently active in robotics ‘education’ and other stakeholders, to discuss the range of career opportunities with corporates, start-ups and established companies. Depending on the outcomes of this event, it is envisaged a second webinar in this series will focus on University pathways. 

Our panel features:
Georgina North, Head of Technology and Innovation, Laing O’Rourke (Robotics Australia Group's Roadmap Partner)
 
Richard Cheung, Digital Robotics and Automation Architect, OzMinerals
 
Adam Stacey, Co-founder of Micromelon Robotics with Tim Hadwen

Dr Damian Kee, Educational Technologies Consultant

Sam Kingsley, The Brainary, Robotics Australia Group's Education partner

The webinar was held on Tuesday 26th April 2022.
