Future of Work
SCROLL
Our Future of Work Program has been designed to cater for secondary year levels or core subject groups including Mathematics, Science and English. Students participate in 4 hands-on sessions focusing on in-demand skills or emerging careers.
In each of these sessions students will use industry-level technologies and approach each through the lens of a future career.
