The project looks at employers' perspectives of Work Integrated Learning (such as internships, placements or project work) for students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.* ** *NCVER is interested in speaking with employers of all sizes, particularly in the private sector, who offer Work Integrated Learning (WIL) to STEM students. We would like find out employers' experiences and perceptions of WIL; including reasons and benefits for offering WIL, experiences with students and university partners, and the constraints and issues in providing WIL. We are also keen to speak to employers who do not offer WIL, to find out **the reasons and some of the barriers. If you are interested in these issues and would like to discuss your experiences please get in touch with Georgina Atkinson at NCVER (Georgina. **Atkinson at ncver.edu.au ).* * * * * Science & Technology Australia -- A.Prof. Andrew Hopkins, Head of Research and Outreach Australian Astronomical Observatory P.O.
