Impact Story
The way we look at education is being reshaped by a changing world.
Today, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking are admired. But soon, these skills will be vital to how we live, work and learn.
Young people will be expected to recognise opportunity, take initiative and innovate in the face of challenges.
And we have a responsibility to help them prepare.
We know that an entrepreneurial mindset elevates student potential. Students become flexible, adaptable and communicate better. They persist in spite of failure and turn problems into opportunities. Armed with these qualities, young people can lead economic growth, improve health and create social change. They can develop skills that advance their careers, as well as their community’s long-term wellbeing.
But entrepreneurial skills don’t come from a textbook. They’re taught through collaboration, real-world experience and continuous improvement.
Young Change Agents is leading the way in youth entrepreneurship in Australia.
