Course Details

Providing a succinct curated overview of the key contemporary themes in practice relating to student futures programs, this short course is designed for school leaders and educators of years 6-10 who do not necessarily have a careers background or focus. 

A briefing on changes in the world of work helps to contextualise recent pattern analysis about young people's expectations and aspirations today. 

Cut through the complex world of future skills, careers education and life design from the primary years and up. You will complete the course with a strong sense of what works, and where the field is heading right now.
