Developing a future workforce of creative, independent, problem-solving individuals empowered to collaborate in teams of diverse skill sets has never been so important. Recent events have accelerated changes in work practices; forced re-evaluation of how, when and where we live and work; highlighted the importance of scientific endeavour, creativity and innovation; and reasserted the need for human connection in our lives and our societies.
How do we address this and engage and support our children and young people into their future? Join us for this webinar to find out.
