Anything is Possible with the right tools
AST Talent Enhancement Centre (ASTTEC) is a not-for-profit educational organisation established in 2020 with the aim of providing a set of online and face-to-face tools that will help Australian youths align their inherent talents with surrounding opportunities and become significant in the Australian multicultural society.
Research has found that the employment prospects of most Australian youths are determined by a combination of their level of education/technical skills and their ability to communicate effectively in the local language, which is English. Education thus provides a mechanism by which Australian youths can harness their skills and strengths to acquire employment/investment opportunities and pave pathways for their future success. To satisfy this need, the idea of ASTTEC was conceived.
Courses
Short courses focused on developing students’ unique interests, passion and skills
Mentoring
Partnering with industry experts, we provide 1 on 1 mentoring for our students to equip them with first-hand knowledge, skills and experience to enhance their development.
Workshops
Focused workshops are designed to assist our students in applying their new learnings into practice.
The Centre produces short lessons in the form of videos, quiz questions and case studies based on experiential knowledge. The educational programme contains an expert-created content and resources for courses that are relevant to Australian youth, from basic (elementary) to advanced level and allow them to learn at their own space. The latter is the main difference between the existing Australian education system and what the Centre offers.
