Education and Innovation

About our Education and Innovation Practice

At a fundamental level, Australia’s education sector delivers the social and economic outcomes that underpin Australia’s current and future success. The institutions and organisations that make up this vibrant sector carry a responsibility for societal advancement that will impact every Australian over the course of their lives. Whether educating children or adults, unearthing new innovative research, or supporting and training the workforce, the mission of the education sector is one of purpose and hope.

The education sector needs a workforce that is innovative, flexible and strategically capable of understanding the many agendas at play to navigate a path to impact. The impact in discussion is directly related to the future of our country and Australia’s ability to maintain global relevance in an increasingly competitive and scrutinised international environment.

In this complex educational setting, Orchard understands the pressures driving institutions through periods of uncertainty and change. We support universities, VET providers, schools, early learning organisations, professional associations, research institutes and private education providers to fulfil their social mandates and empower the communities they serve.

Our services across executive search for senior leadership appointments, interim appointments, managerial recruitment and holistic workforce volume campaigns are tailored to the diverse needs of our clients to be transparent, relational and provide value far beyond a transactional service.
