Who is involved?
What's in it for teachers?
The Edternships Programme is for innovative teachers, passionate about ensuring their students are prepared for the new world of work.
We invest in those exceptional teachers to build their understanding of the 21C skills required by NZ employers, and get them ahead of the game on real world, project-based learning - the learning of the future.
Why it's great for businesses
Leading NZ businesses need young people with the 21C skills to succeed in their industries, now and in the future. They need to ensure that young people understand the pathways to work in their industries and organisations, and have the confidence and knowledge to access them.
21C Skills Lab ensures businesses are getting right to the heart of this skills development and pathways exploration opportunity - by supporting the teachers themselves.
