Box of Books and Get My Course prove that successful education is simply a question of bringing students and key skills together.
Box of Books, an Australian-owned edtech provider, sits in a small pocket of the market that offers a complete school resources solution via a platform that offers a centralised procurement and e-commerce solution for all learning resources, such as textbooks and stationery.
CEO Brad Dobinson says the company was launched in 2018, responding to a gap that existed in the operation of Australian schools by co-ordinating the procurement of textbooks, school supplies and digital resources. “The concept of having a student who went to six different classes and had six different usernames and six different passwords and managing that across 25 students in a class … the potential failure points were mind-boggling.”in a range of formats with a single sign-in.“We now supply all aspects of what a student needs to learn, whether it’s a physical textbook, stationery or a resource pack,” Dobinson says.
Despite demonstrable growth, like everyone in tech, it’s been tough to secure talent, which remains a challenge, Dobinson admits. “We’ve effectively had to push the education of what our service can do and demonstrate that to schools to ensure they can clearly see the benefits that we offer,” he says.Launching four years ago, Get My Course, which has hit the AFR Fast Starters list, helps people working in the community sector to map their career goals and gain the qualifications needed to reach those goals. They have partnered with a dozen training companies across Australia, funnelling students into these courses.
