Net Z(ed) – A Net Zero Education Collaboration to Inspire Our Future is Live!

We’re thrilled to announce that Net Z(ed)—our groundbreaking initiative connecting education, industry, government, and researchers—is now live!

Net Z(ed) is a bold step towards helping teachers prepare young Australians for the opportunities emerging in our decarbonising economy and Net Zero future. This collaboration is built to ensure the next generation is informed, inspired, and ready to lead.

Born in the Hunter – Designed for Impact

Net Z(ed) couldn’t have happened anywhere but the Hunter. From idea to reality, this initiative has come to life thanks to the incredible support of our Foundation Collaborators, who have helped shape and drive this vision forward:

✅ NSW Department of Education – STEM Enrichment
✅ Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (Hunter Workforce Transition Team)
✅ Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRaCE)
✅ University of Newcastle
✅ Committee for the Hunter
✅ Business NSW

A huge thank you to everyone who has played a role in getting this off the ground. Your belief in the vision of Net Z(ed) is what made it possible.

More Than Just a Program—A System for Change

For us at MCB Business Partners, this is just the beginning. Net Z(ed) is the first of many industry-education-government programs we’re rolling out—powered by our new EdTech Management Stack.

This technology is built to:
✅ Help businesses, industries, and government measure their investments in education outreach.
✅ Ensure real-world learning experiences provide meaningful impact for young people.
✅ Support educators with curriculum-aligned resources that remove barriers to Net Zero education.

Through Net Z(ed), we are building a new model of collaboration, ensuring students can make informed career decisions and connect with the industries shaping their future.

This is just the beginning. We’re growing, scaling, and evolving. More collaborations, more learning experiences, and more opportunities are coming soon.
