With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.

About The Program
Our Young Professionals Program has been designed to help students develop the skills and resources they need to make a head start on their chosen career pathways.
The program will kick off with students working to identify their personal brand as they combine their skills, passions and values to create a vision and mission statement that they can use to guide their decision-making.
From there, we’ll be diving into resume design as we use case studies and the latest trends from leading organisations such as Google, Canva, and Atlassian to develop our understanding of what employers are looking for in their workforce. During this time, we’ll be working with students to structure their resumes, and exploring handy tools for resume design and interview preparation such as Canva, Myers Briggs personality tests, and online courses.
Once we have our resumes ready to go, we’ll then be looking at how we can create our digital presence as we digitise our resume in the form of a personal website, LinkedIn profile or a professional social media account. Finally, we’ll be turning our attention to building our networks as we help students identify and prepare for networking events in their chosen industry. Whilst exploring networking we’ll be helping students develop their personal pitch and create strategies to identify mentors and build strategic relationships.
This is a great program for students preparing for their first experiences in the workforce as they build the basics of their personal and professional brand.
