Greater Foundations24 - Building career-based classroom learning

ACTIVATE industry skills in your classroom

EMPOWER your students for the real-world

ACCELERATE ‘future-ready’ learning

At Greater Foundations24 professional development event, you’ll hear directly from industry leaders about the skills and mindset needed for the jobs of today – and tomorrow.

Future Anything will empower you and your colleagues to unlock future-focused pathways that guide students from classrooms to ‘new’ careers in the Greater Whitsunday region.

Teachers will enjoy insights from industry leaders in emerging and existing sectors including advanced manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and mining with an optional immersive mining experience at the Mackay location to provide a complete picture of the depth and breadth of regional opportunities. This event offers networking opportunities to connect with peers and industry, fostering collaborations to streamline school-to-work transitions for students.

96% of attendees shifted to a confident understanding of local career opportunities, after last year's event Greater Foundations23, as compared with a 37% starting confidence level.

Greater Foundations24 event will open your mind and transform your thinking about the real-world opportunities for our region’s students – and the role you play in helping them reach their potential.
