Entrepreneurial Education Professional Develop Workshops for South Australian Teachers

Endorsed by the South Australia Department of Education, Young Change Agents will be running a series of funded professional development workshops for up to 100 South Australian teachers. Co-hosted by some of the leading entrepreneurial high schools across South Australia.

Young Change Agents is a non- profit social enterprise focused on developing the mindset, skillset, and toolset of youth aged 10 - 21. We do this through social entrepreneurship programs combined with educator capacity building, the amplification of youth ideas, and technology platforms that provide badging and ePortfolios. We are equipping young people for their future careers and empowering them to create their own pathways. Learn more about Young Change Agents here.

These funded 3-hour workshops (usually $125 per person) will give educators a hands-on experience with design thinking and entrepreneurship and will leave educators with actionable frameworks and insights to embed entrepreneurial education at your school.

We understand that every educator and school is at different stages of development in their entrepreneurial education. That's why these workshops will cater to schools and educators at every stage – from novices to seasoned experts.

We're also providing educators who attend the workshops with ongoing support from Young Change Agents and the opportunity to join our community of practice.
