AT BEYOND, WE'RE COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING THE CAREER EXPLORATION EXPERIENCE FOR FUTURE STUDENTS
Information, events and resources for future students can be disconnected and complicated. At BEYOND, we seek to leverage technology and thoughtful design to transform this experience and facilitate meaningful connections between future students, career advisers and higher education providers.
WHAT IS BEYOND?
BEYOND is a free, comprehensive digital ecosystem where future students of all ages, career advisers,
teachers, and parents can access educational materials, attend events and interact with tertiary and VET
providers across Australia.
The platform is a highly secure space that enables students to build their own professional profiles – and where they can keep all of their records, achievements, milestones and career advice in the one place. The platform shapes around their profile, clicks and interactions so that their career exploration experience is efficient, and unique to them.
In collaboration with the highest quality education providers and experts, we help future students understand what they need to do today and tomorrow to actively pursue their dream career.
MEET THE TEAM
We are an experienced team of education and career professionals, committed to transforming the career exploration experience to help future students make informed decisions about their career pathways.
