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
In the media, there is a constant buzz about job automation and robots taking over our roles in the future workforce, creating a narrative of fear and uncertainty.
To counter this, our Future Of Work program aims to shift this narrative by inspiring students about the exciting opportunities awaiting them in the future job market. By delving into the 100 Jobs Of The Future, students will explore potential roles projected to emerge in the next 20-50 years.
These roles range from an off-world habitat designer to a robot ethicist, showing the wide array of possibilities that lay ahead. Through interactive workshops and hands-on activities, students will not only gain a glimpse into their potential future careers but also develop crucial skills to thrive in an ever-evolving job landscape.
Through defining job descriptions, crafting resumes, and connecting these roles to current jobs, participants will debunk the myths surrounding the future of work. By gaining a deeper understanding of the evolving job market landscape and the skills in demand, individuals can navigate their career paths with confidence and adaptability. Embracing continuous learning, networking, and staying abreast of industry trends are key components in staying competitive in the ever-changing job market.
