Who we work with

Who could we partner with?

Providers interested in curriculum collaboration, specialist workshops or approved digital learning support for speaking programs.

Curriculum-connected programs

For local and international partners.

Our programs are designed to complement school learning while helping young people develop practical capabilities through engaging educational experiences.

We use relevant Australian and Victorian curriculum expectations to inform our program development, alongside selected international educational frameworks where appropriate.

Our emphasis is on meaningful learning, practical skills and the confidence to apply knowledge beyond the classroom.

Program development is guided by Australian curriculum requirements and selected international frameworks. International education partners can explore adapting relevant programs to their own local curriculum requirements.

Programs are not automatically equivalent across countries or education systems. Any curriculum licensing, adaptation or regional delivery is subject to an appropriate partner agreement.

How we collaborate

Built around shared value.

We believe education partnerships work when each organisation contributes its expertise. Our approach begins by understanding your students, your existing educational offering and the needs of your market. From there, we explore suitable programs, delivery arrangements and supporting resources that can create meaningful learning experiences.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    Understand your organisation, students, existing programs and partnership objectives.

  2. Step 2

    Design

    Identify suitable educational opportunities and shape the collaboration model.

  3. Step 3

    Pilot

    Where agreed, begin with a suitable program, workshop or limited pilot.

  4. Step 4

    Develop

    Review feedback and outcomes, then explore opportunities to refine or expand the partnership.

Educational philosophy

Human capabilities first. Technology with purpose.

Our programs help young people develop confidence, communication, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and practical problem-solving. We value meaningful human interaction, hands-on experiences and learning by doing.

Technology has an important role where it serves the learning objective — particularly in coding, robotics and digital creation. Forge, our digital learning platform, supports relevant between-session learning where included. This philosophy guides the partnerships we explore.
