An academy for young innovators, entrepreneurs and creatives
Young people are capable of great things
IDEA was designed for today’s young people as a vision for the future of the education system.
IDEA is an academy for young innovators, entrepreneurs and creatives, aged 15 – 21 years. We offer bespoke, portfolio-based education programs in a blended learning environment that delivers nationally recognised credentials in an innovative, co-working setting in Perth CBD.
At IDEA, students engage in ‘real-world’ learning and access a broad range of work experiences, based on their interests and aspirations. During their time at IDEA, students are supported by program facilitators and mentors across an international network. We broker pathways to university, further education and training and employment, supporting young people to design their future with confidence.
In addition to the Academy, we offer Certificate II – diploma level Future Ready VET courses and IDEA Pathways, which includes our wraparound service of tailored career advice, pathway planning and post-school transition brokering.
Education systems need to prepare students for their future, rather than for our past. The rolling processes of automation…have radically altered the nature of work and life and thus the skills that are needed for success.
Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills
Education is everyone’s business
IDEA is part of an education ecosystem, with learners at the core.
We believe that in order for young people to reach their highest potential, they need to be supported by a community of mentors and champions. We give students access to an international community of businesses, industry, NGOs and higher education providers.
Students explore how their passions, interests and talents can meet the needs of a changing world.
