Career TGR.Coming in 2021...
Career TGR represents a unique opportunity to bridge the divide between youth unemployment and global employment growth areas in the Australian states, territories and regions that are the most in need. This approach aligns with World Economic Forum (Jobs of Tomorrow), Australian National Career Education Strategy (Future Ready: A student focused National Career Education Strategy), Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration, Australian Curriculum, and Australian state and territory curriculum frameworks. The opportunity to partner with world leading STEM education and sport for social change organisations such as TGR Foundation who have established, evaluated and proven blended (face to face and online) training and delivery methods and resources that Australian teachers have the opportunity to modify for their regional contexts through a co-design process with these partners is an innovative but proven concept in the USA. This program will use that innovative but proven approach to achieve improved employment outcomes for youth in the areas of most need in Australia, with the opportunity to scale the program for national growth in reach and impact using a commercial model. This is a unique and engaging approach to linking education and training in Australia to global employment growth areas to improve education, employment and economic conditions as defined by the World Economic Forum and identified by the United National Sustainable Development Goals #4 – Quality Education and #8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth. |
Purpose.
There are more than 580,000 young people (15-24 year olds) in Australia who are not fully engaged in employment or study (12.2% youth unemployment as at February 2020), while employers struggle to find skilled employees.
Career TGR aims to overcome the disconnect between the education and training sector and the needs of employers. |
Program OutputsFive (5) integrated STEM lessons/units of inquiry, co-designed with teachers from the regions of Australia most affected by youth unemployment, co-designed with TGR Foundation, that are aligned to five (5) of the seven (7) career growth areas identified by WEF’s Jobs for Tomorrow report, The Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration, Future Ready: A student focused National Career Education Strategy, the Australian Curriculum and states and territory curriculum frameworks. The five (5) lessons/units of inquiry will be available (online) and free of charge to all Australian teachers, students, parents and carers on the TGR EDU: Explore website.
