THE GUESTSally Browner is an educator, business leader and education change maker. She was recently appointed Director of Digital at the Future Skills Organisation, working on Australia's national digital skills agenda, to bridge the massive digital skills gap. Sally's no stranger to big and ambitious undertakings, before this she helped to establish the groundbreaking NSW Institute of Applied Technology Digital, a 108M investment by the State Government to create an entirely new form of Australian tertiary institution - one that brings together Higher and Vocational Education, working closely with industry to train the workforce in digital skills critical for our economic growth. Sally's impact as an education business leader saw her recognised as a Finalist in the prestigious Telstra Business Women of the Year awards 2018/19 - Medium/Large Business. But the part of her career that I want to spotlight was her 10 years as a high school teacher.
