Helping young people shape their future selves

Our vision is to become the most trusted guide for young people shaping their future selves. We see a world where every learner has access to personalised support, inspiring options, and real-world opportunities that reflect who they are and what truly matters to them.

Our Pillars

We believe that the journey from school to life beyond should be one of curiosity, courage, and possibility, not confusion or compromise. Nexties transforms this uncertain chapter into an empowering, inspiring experience.

Discovery
First

Secondary school students across Australasia aren't sure about their career plans

Deeply
Personalised

Students aim for just ten traditional career paths, missing heaps of other awesome opportunities.

Actionable &
Real-World

Students feel that school has properly prepared them for what comes next. That's not many...

Equity at
the Core

We’re dedicated to levelling the playing field, ensuring every learner, regardless of background, has equal access to opportunities.

Why We Created Nexties

Too many young people are making life-shaping decisions based on guesswork or lack of access. We’re here to change that. Nexties helps learners understand themselves better, explore what’s possible, and take confident steps forward in ways that feel true to them. Our goal is to replace overwhelm with agency, and surface opportunities that feel meaningful, not just available.
