Why join the tour?

Everybody talks about the future world of work but the reality is many of the skills that young people need in the workplace are here NOW. Capabilities such as an entrepreneurial mindset (whether it is exploring your own business ideas, applying an entrepreneurial approach as an employee (as an intrapreneur), and/or for social good) are all vital skills to learn. These are also skills needed to be successful in many school programs.

Adelaide is a hot bed of entrepreneurial activity but it is often difficult to really understand what is happening, who is involved and how it relates to education. The City of Entrepreneurs Tour across Adelaide will demonstrate where authentic STEM is in current and future jobs, connect you to coworking spaces and the entrepreneurial ecosystem, introduce you to leading businesses, local and global employers, and educational institutions all developing skills for future and current jobs.

You will:

• Gain an understanding of the importance of building adaptability as jobs and careers continue to change;
• Get a perspective on what it takes to become a desirable, highly 'sought after’ employee or entrepreneur, with an understanding of future employer and workforce requirements; and
• Learn why 21st Century capabilities such as Communication and Influence, Digital and Social, Learning and Mastery, Intelligence and Imagination and 21st Century STEM and Entrepreneurship are important for future job success whatever the pathway chosen.

Who is it for? Educators from Primary and High Schools, Vocational Education and Training (VET) or Higher Education organisations; Career Counsellors and Practitioners; Employment Service Providers and Youth Organisations; Economic Development and Industry representatives.

Who is involved? Meet entrepreneurs, business and industry leaders, corporates and government agencies, mentors, startups and coworking spaces. See inside the South Australian entrepreneurial ecosystem including social capital initiatives, pick up on the language and explore potential partnerships for projects and real world problem solving.

How is the tour run? Beginning at 10.00 am, the tour kicks off at a combined incubator, accelerator and coworking space as one of the potential entry into the innovation and startup scene.
