About Us
It’s estimated that STEM professions will make up 75% of the Australian workforce by 2025.
However, only 43% of Aboriginal children graduate High School with one STEM subject.
General Assembly is a pioneer in education and career transformation, specializing in today’s most in-demand skills. The leading source for training, staffing, and career transitions, we foster a flourishing community of professionals pursuing careers they love.
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people make up 3% of the Australian population.
However, they make up close to 0% of the tech industry. Affordable learning pathways are necessary in creating access to STEM related careers.
That's why General Assembly and Indigitek are partnering with Thoughtworks to provide a full scholarship to two recipients to supercharge their career in software engineering.
