The National Needs Analysis within the context of inGenious


What is a Needs Analysis?Needs Analysis: assessment tool for identifying needs and gaps, between current and desired conditions.

Needs analysis within the context of inGenious:

To identify the existing challenges and gaps in the current school-

industry collaboration

Leading to identifying the next steps to further strengthen the school-industry collaboration through recommendations and common strategies to overcome the challenges and gaps in the school-industry collaboration and thus increase the number of young people interested in STEM education and careers
