About SEDA
SEDA is an applied learning education provider, committed to changing the lives of young people through individual learning and industry experience.
OUR STORY
Our journey began with a vision to transform education for young people.
In 2007, three educators and an athlete came together to create a hands-on, industry-connected learning experience that was truly immersive and community-focused. The goal was to offer a more personalized education model that reflects real-world work environments through experiences, collaboration, and strong relationships.
Since then, SEDA has delivered programs to thousands of students across the country in partnership with more than 50 industry partners, creating opportunities for young people to thrive in industries they’re passionate about.
SEDA Model
The SEDA model embraces an applied, hands-on approach to learning, where students are trusted and encouraged to develop knowledge and skills for their own worth rather than to sit a test or be ranked. Our model seeks to create a learning environment that reflects the way people learn at work – through experiences, strong relationships and support, trust, collaboration and sharing knowledge.
1. The Student
At the heart of our program design is the holistic development of each student. We align learning experiences with career aspirations and focus on the development of key attributes and transferable skills, alongside academic knowledge. This is brought together through a structured individual development plan that forms a core part of our SEDA model – known as MyPLAN.
2. The Teacher
The relationship between student and teacher is fundamental to our model, where a dedicated teacher provides a more personalised, individual approach. The consistent teacher is essential to allow more time for deeper and stronger relationships to be established with each student. This person spends the majority of time with the student supporting, mentoring, and facilitating their learning.
3. The Learning
Learning is applied and delivered in the real world, with experiences, projects, and activities delivered in community and industry settings. Students learn the way people learn at work – through experiences, support, collaboration, and sharing knowledge.
4. The Industry Partners
Curriculum and program design is genuinely undertaken in consultation with our industry and community partners. This increases expertise, capacity and breadth both in design and in all aspects of delivery. The result is more realistic industry and community learning experiences, with students developing the knowledge and skills needed and wanted by the industry.
