Working Together to Prepare Our Next Generations for Their Net Zero Future
We build and support the partnerships that will empower young Australians to grow, connect, and lead our transition to a sustainable, resilient, and decarbonised future.
Preparing for the Future Through Education
Education must be at the heart of Australia’s transition to a sustainable future. Engaging young people early in conversations about decarbonising our economy ensures a successful and resilient transition.
At Net Z(ed), we are building and supporting an education ecosystem that empowers young people to align their learning with real-world opportunities in clean energy, sustainability, and innovation—equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact.
Why It Matters
Decarbonising our economies over the next thirty years is one of the greatest challenges—and opportunities—of our time. Businesses, industries, cities and regions must be ready to adapt to stay relevant, sustainable, and resilient. Success in this transformation depends on equipping people with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to navigate change and drive innovation.
Creating Opportunities for the Future
We create opportunities in the classroom for students to explore the future—its challenges, careers, and possibilities. Through these experiences, we help young people to develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to thrive in a changing world. And most importantly, we show them that no matter their interests or strengths, there is a place for them in this transition journey.
How We Do It
We bring together education, industry, government, and research to develop innovative lessons and activities that teachers can seamlessly integrate into curriculum-aligned classroom learning. These experiences give young people the opportunity to explore the skills and careers shaping the transition by connecting their education to real-world opportunities that industry and government are anticipating.
By bridging the gap between education and emerging industries, we help students build confidence and gain credentialed skills—empowering them, and those around them, to make informed education-to-career decisions.
Looking Ahead
While we can’t predict exactly what the future holds, but we can ensure that young Australians are ready to seize the opportunities it brings—shaping a more resilient and prosperous society.
We invite teachers to register for free classroom resources designed to bring the energy transition to life for students.
If you’re an industry, government, research, or education provider working on a project, tech, or other innovations that will help Australia decarbonise the economy or drive other Net Zero, learn the benefits of collaborating with us to bring your story and career opportunities to life in classrooms across Australia.
Together, we can equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in a changing world.
