We do what we do for a very good reason…
A child’s right to education entails the right to learn. However, for far too many children throughout the world, schooling, at all levels of education, does not lead to learning.
This learning crisis has reached a worldwide scale; a shortage of skilled teachers, inadequate education resources, and bad infrastructure make learning difficult for so many children.
While everyone should have the chance of an education worthy of any chosen career path, too many obstacles get in the way
Some are obvious, such as the inability to afford education or not being able to physically attend a school, while others are more subtle. For example, a shortfall of learners who feel isolated because they lack social and/or emotional characteristics for varying reasons, including Autism, ADHD, Asperger's and numerous other (diagnosed and undiagnosed) conditions on the Neurodiversity scale.
If students do manage to pass their courses, they don’t always get the career development support needed to take those next few steps into employment. This might be because qualifications are not recognized by the employee, or long academic tech qualifications that are recognized become out of date quickly for practical use or are not specific enough for employees to recruit on. There’s a lack of learned relevant skills that apply directly to job roles and qualifications don’t always lead to employment.
Without quality education and career development, students face significant challenges to employment and earning potential later in life. This impacts not just their own future but affects society as a whole.
Who we are
Our mission is to inspire all individuals to turn their passions and abilities into useful qualifications, successful jobs, and satisfying lives. Everyone should be able to pick a meaningful education and career pathway that will position them for lasting success and a place in the ‘World of Work’.
We’re a team of professionals from all walks of life who believe that we can help change how children learn so that they feel like they’ve had successful learning experiences. We’re a team of parents, siblings, family members, and friends who personally understand the difficulties and the insurmountable mountains our kin must climb to gain relevant qualifications that lead to successful careers and to be happy whilst doing so.
What we are
Next-Gen is a smart learning and career development platform. But it goes far beyond any normal e-learning tool. In fact, you can’t really compare because Nex-Gen is in a class of its own.
The innovative technology that surrounds and supports Next-Gen’s goals provides the right foundation for short course qualifications that lead to long-term career success.
The simplistic concept encompassing three main entities explains what is fundamentally missing in education today and therefore what we are trying to achieve; to better connect the student, the educator (institutions), and the employer by providing the only infrastructure in the world where learners from any background truly get the chance of employment after they complete their course(s).
