Our Story
Our Vision Automation will impact all jobs; by 2025 McKinsey Global predicts 800 million jobs worldwide will be impacted by automation. To prepare young people for the future of work WTS has developed our spaces to be representative of Industry 4.0 where the physical and digital worlds converge. Students will be exposed to the Internet of Things (IOT) as they navigate through our spaces and programs. Undertaking projects that include a blend of creative thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and specialist technical skills in emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), niche manufacturing, cybersecurity, content creation and robotics. Our vision is to provide a learning environment similar to a workplace our role is not to replicate what our schools are doing but enhance and extend what they are doing.
