• 65% of children in primary school today will ultimately work in jobs that currently don’t exist
• Major need for Life Long Learning – needing to continue to develop our skills; need for re-skilling and up-skilling
Diligence and Integrity
Overview of future trends
• Importance of further education beyond school has increased
• Increase in “unskilled jobs” now requiring additional study and experience
• University and TAFE pathways have opened significantly
• Careers have changed from traditional work in the one industry to focus on employability and transferrable skills
• 21st Century skills these are uniquely human skills
Diligence and Integrity
What now?
• Flexible options – studying things students enjoy maximises achievement and will support finding employment in areas that will maximise job satisfaction
• University offers and places is a new frontier at this time
• Jobs and industries in the future is somewhat unknown – do your own research and stay updated
• Most importantly – communication and encouragement
