St Aloysius College in Nth Melbourne asked me to be the closing keynote presenter for their staff day at the start of Semester 2.

The Principal Mary Farah asked me to talk about getting students ready for the future workplace which is currently a pet topic of mine and links nicely to Adobe’s research in the fostering of creative problem solving in education.

We spent a bit of time breaking down the skills globally identified as most important to creative solving problem and what emphasis they are playing in today’s curricula.

It is somewhat staggering to see the contrast between what is considered important life long skills and the lack of time spent on them in the education process.
