Helping Schools & Empowering Applied Learning Teachers
We help schools build Applied Learning programs that make sense and actually work. Skills For Schools helps teachers create engaging programs, with practical support they can use straight away. We work with leaders and teams to lift engagement, strengthen planning, and build programs that set students up for real pathways.
Strategic Curriculum & Pathway Design
We worth with schools to co-design applied learning curriculum, VCEVM & VPC programs, and relevant, meaningful pathways. Whether it’s curriculum planning, linking to Study Designs, or crafting program-wide learning strategies, our goal is to build meaningful, future-focused learning opportunities that students can engage with and succeed in.
Professional Development & Instructional Coaching
We build teacher confidence through tailored workshops, short masterclasses and one-on-one coaching. We cover teaching practice, applied pedagogy, literacy and numeracy reinforcement and real workforce skills. We work alongside educators to strengthen planning, delivery and classroom impact.
Curriculum Documentation & Becoming Audit Ready
Navigating an audit doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. We help schools meet requirements, prepare for audits and interpret study designs with clarity and confidence. We offer full curriculum audits and action plans to help you stay on track.
Applied Learning & Real-World Connections
We teach schools how to build real world connections and strengthen existing partnerships. Through practical planning, project ideas and clear processes, we help teams link learning to community, industry and real work. This gives students meaningful experiences and stronger pathways.
