Teacher encounters with employers, enable educators to fully understand current industry practise and share up to date knowledge and skills with their students. They help educators maintain a breadth of knowledge and an understanding of the latest technical and professional developments relevant to the subjects they teach, including present and future career opportunities and pathways, and the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for different roles. Educators can use these insights to inspire their students and keep their teaching and curriculum up to date. Employers have the opportunity to support educators to shape the curriculum and provide relevance to the world or work to ensure young people are best prepared as a future talent workforce.
