ATN Frontiers
An innovative professional development program for Australia’s next generation of PhD and research Masters students. ATN Frontiers supports graduates to better understand the future, to best prepare for it.
Our program
The ATN Frontiers Program consists of three levels of modules for candidates to complete sequentially.
Level 1:
Foundations of the Future
Modules
These modules consist of self-paced and directed learning about the potential changes in societal needs, research capabilities and technological advances, along with the possible influencers and disruptions that may impact on our futures. Students who successfully complete a Level 1 module will receive a digital certificate, digital credential (which can be added to LinkedIn) and will be invited to join the ATN Frontiers Alumni Community.
Level 2:
My Future Master Classes
Modules
Level 2 of ATN Frontiers provides more in-depth investigations and engagement with specialised issues and skillsets through intensive workshop-based master classes. Each masterclass will focus on specific skills and strategies needed to shape the future, featuring cohort experiences and expert facilitators.
We’re graduating highly-employable innovators, able to look beyond the present to shape the future.
By understanding the challenges and opportunities ahead, our graduates are better prepared to create and fill employment gaps that may not yet exist.
Focusing on the future of research and work, ATN Frontiers develops the knowledge, skills and ability to shape the future of innovation and productivity in industry.
This unique program supports HDR students to become the work-creators of the future, fostering their ambitions and providing them the skills to take their research further into their careers and industry.
