Building School-to-Industry Partnerships
The most amazing fact about the skills gap is that it can be filled. You can make it happen.
Students at St John XXIII Catholic College are 21st century learners who collaborate, think critically and communicate effectively to respond flexibly to the demands of their workplaces.
They create their own opportunities through entrepreneurship.
Through strong partnerships with leading industry organisations, our students benefit from workplace experience, internships, sponsorships, guest lectures and industry insights, giving them a significant advantage and foot in the door of their chosen career.
Businesses and enterprising individuals can help provide a more rigorous and skills-based curriculum, highlighting employability skills like teamwork, communication, and presentation skills among others. You provide students with the new Three Rs: rigor, relevance, and relationships. Relationships are not only important in the job market, but also to their personal lives—students gain access to role models they may not otherwise have.
You have the power to prepare future leaders and gift the workforce with knowledgeable, diverse, and driven talent.
