Good Education Group to partner with FUTUREgen16 Conference

The Good Education Group continues to fulfil its mission to be the ‘leading independent provider of high-quality resources that empower generations to achieve their goals’ by becoming a key partner of the FUTUREgen16 Conference.

Taking place in Melbourne on 2 and 3 August 2016, the Good Education Group will provide invaluable insight to delegates from across the globe through an exhibit and concurrent workshop presentation, where it will showcase the work that the company is undertaking to provide independent career tools to the education and youth sectors.

‘We welcome the Good Education Group as a sponsor of the FUTUREgen16 Conference and value the expertise they bring to the sector to ensure that young people have the right tools and resources to navigate career and training pathway options that match their skills and interests’, said Daniela Ascone, Managing Director of Thinq Group, FUTUREgen16 host organisation.

One of the new initiatives that will be showcased by the Good Education Group is the new Good Careers Guide, which has replaced the federal government’s Job Guide — a much-loved career education resource that for many years supported students, parents and careers advisers alike.

Produced in collaboration with Australian career practitioners and including updated Job Guide occupational data, The Good Careers Guide provides an in-depth look at a range of occupations and the skills and qualifications required to pursue them. Suitable for a varied audience and available on print and digital platforms, The Good Careers Guide is tailored to meet the needs of those entering the modern-day education and careers climate.

‘A career is a lifelong journey, making resources that explore skills, interests and employment opportunities crucial’, said Chris Lester, Chief Executive Officer of Good Education Group. ‘We are excited to demonstrate our latest resources at FUTUREgen16 and keenly seek feedback from delegates to ensure our products best serve the sector’s needs.’
