About us
In-demand careers and skills are changing rapidly, with new skill requirements, jobs, and sectors continuing to emerge.
This presents challenges for:
- Businesses in obtaining in-demand skills;
- Schools informing young people of the wide range of opportunities available and preparing them for the world of work, which may have changed by the time they get there;
- Parents obtaining relevant and up-to-date information to support their children with education and career choices;
- Young people, who often find the careers landscape confusing and complex to navigate.
