Central Coast Innovation Breakfast Series (online) July 2020

As we move through the economic challenges from the impact of COVID-19 restrictions, it’s important for us to stay connected and focus on how we can use innovation to get us through this time and grow stronger into the future.

Central Coast Council, with support from The Fifth Element incubator accelerator, are proud to bring you the online Central Coast Innovation Breakfast Series.

July topic - Future of Education

If we suddenly lost our memories and had no concept of education, what would the learning journey look like?

We decided to take the opportunity to run The Future of Education breakfast in the school holidays so we can talk to both educators, students and facilitators.

In New South Wales, and Australia more broadly, we are on the precipice of a massive transformation of schooling and education. 

As businesses and organisation evolve to adapt to needs of a fast-changing world so too will education on all levels to ensure future employees and innovative leaders are equipped with the right skills and qualifications.

We know the NSW K-12 curriculum is going through a major reform, there are changes happening to university degrees and we need to understand how to best prepare our children and young people for a rapidly changing workforce.

We also need to understand how to prepare our businesses for future employment and to predict what innovation opportunities could emerge.

Join in the third innovation breakfast with guest speakers:

• Professor John Fischetti, Pro Vice Chancellor Education and Arts, University of Newcastle
• Jade Moffat Herman, Corporate Social Responsibility Lead, IBM, A/NZ

Our guest speakers are on the cutting edge of the future of education and what it might look like. Get future ready insights into how we can determine the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values students need to thrive in and shape their future. We will also be joined on the sofa by Jillian Williams, Central Coast P-TECH Industry Liaison at IBM A/NZ, as well as a current student going through the NSW school system, as well as two young thought leaders and ambassadors for young people, who will bring their experiences and vision to the conversation.

This is an event not to be missed by anyone in the Central Coast education system and or business looking to be future ready, especially those on the Central Coast and surrounds. We would particularly love to see Principals, career advisors, young people, and local business who are keen to stay ahead and adapt to the future of the workplace.
