Nurturing young people’s Newconomy skills is key to preparing them for success in the workforce and future competitiveness of local economies and society.
The Newconomy learning resources & programs teams brings educators, business, industry and government together to collaborate on, and activate, immersive and enriching newconomy learning experiences in the classroom.
Educators, who want to see their students exposed to real world, relevant examples of where their learning is being applied in our society, struggle to broker those relationships with industry and government to contribute to the learning experiences they want to develop for their students.
Educators are struggling to create highly immersive, relevant, and real world connected learning resources for use in classrooms, particularly in the subjects connecting with the Newconomy.
Young people are unaware of the companies, culture, career pathways and technology that Australians companies are developing and deploying right here in Australia.
Our industries, and government are becoming more and more concerned and acutely aware of a predicted net skills drain for our high growth industries in the not-too-distant future.
Rather than showcasing our partner organisations as extra-curricular activities, business, industry and government can embed elements of practice and career opportunities directly in the classroom via compulsory and elective curriculum through collaboration with education.
The benefits industry and government have when working with the MCB Business Partners team on a Newconomy learning resources & programs activity are:
Our team understand education and industry partnerships – We have good insights into the challenges and opportunities of all stakeholders coming together to work on these initiatives.
MCB Business Partners has established relationships with educators, schools and across all education systems.
Credibility & proven processes – The MCB Business Partners process for developing learning resources in multi stakeholder partnerships is proven. Industry, government and tertiary education sponsors and support the MCB Business Partners team to develop and deploy Newconomy learning resources and programs into Australian schools.
Newconomy and education, industry collaboration advocates Adam Spencer and Andrew Chapman position the importance and benefits of collaborating with educators and landing Australian business and industry in the classroom.
We’d love to hear from teachers and schools looking to bring the Newconomy experiences and thinking to their classrooms and students.
