Futureintech is a project that helps set up and support technology, engineering and science industry links in the classroom, and provides information to students and their caregivers about career choices in these areas. Futureintech works directly with schools, industries and universities to help ensure that technology, maths and science teachers have the right resources to inform school students and inspire them to continue their study through to tertiary level.
Through partnerships with technology-based organisations, the project works in close collaboration with a growing number of industry groups who support Futureintech by:

• Making a public commitment by becoming a Futureintech Partner;


• Encouraging industry peers, service providers and customers to get involved;


• Selecting young employees to act as Futureintech Ambassadors;


• Helping young employees to be profiled for the Futureintech website;


• Inviting the local Futureintech Facilitator to learn first hand about a company;


• Becoming a Visiting Industry Professional; and


• Providing a scholarship for tertiary study in a related field.

Work is done through regional Facilitators throughout New Zealand supported by a central office in Wellington.
Futureintech was initiated by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) in 2003 and is funded by Government until 2010.
