Training
Grade 8-12
There's a comprehensive program for Grade 8-12 designed to assist learners in making and implementing informed career choices. The fundamental aspect of this programme is personal development linked with career guidance and leadership development. It’s a program that allows learners to be aware and develop their competencies in self-knowledge, educational and occupational exploration as well as career planning. The programme has over 30 modules that can be rolled over 3 years for maximum impact.
Benefits of this program:
- Building interpersonal effectiveness and self-efficacy.
- Increased self-esteem and motivation.
- Develop leadership skills.
- Maximized career awareness and access to opportunities available to succeed in society.

STEM extra lessons
Department of Basic Education statistics reveal a staggering 44.6% of learners either dropping out of the system altogether or remaining stuck in Grade 10 and 11, while 40% drop out in the first year of varsity. According to the World Economic Forum, the quality of maths and science subjects in South Africa is ranked last out of 148 countries. Over 245,103 learners wrote the mathematics papers in 2017, and only 6,726 passed with the 80% needed to guarantee entry into most engineering degrees. There is already a challenge with more learners dropping pure maths from Grade 10.
The above shocking statistics reveal the strain our education system is under and the level of support they need.
Through this programme, we support struggling schools by providing:
- Extra maths and science classes to improve the performance and interest in STEM subjects and increase learner self-management.
- Create awareness of careers within the preferred industry and potentially feed in these learners into various bursary schemes. In this way, we create a sustainable impact.
Teachers and School leadership
Schools need leaders with a vision for improving the school’s learning environment. School leadership involves setting school directions concerning students, teacher development, and allocation of material and financial resources. Effective leadership impacts motivation, commitment, and student and teacher success.
Our training programmes cover:
- Effective overall leadership development.
- How to engage learners in class

Brain profiling
We conduct brain profiling to assist individuals and groups in the journey of self-awareness as well as success. The tool allows you to understand your thinking preference regardless of where you are in life. This is suitable from age 4+ till adulthood.
Through the study of the functions of the left and right brains, the assessment is used in a test that gives an indication of how:
- A particular person communicates with others.
- Acts towards people in certain situations.
- They are suitable for particular careers.
- They do business, learn, teach.
- They solve problems, make decisions etc.
Graduate work readiness programme
Our programme aims to increase Employability – even if there are jobs, most youth who either dropped out of school, have grade 12 or tertiary qualification lack many necessary soft skills like communication, emotional intelligence, leadership or personal management, etc. They have no etiquette that helps them get into the world of work or manage their career path once they are in. Our programme focuses on personal Mastery and other skills needed to access opportunities and become outstanding in the workplace.
