Skills Genius: Future-proofing the next generation for life beyond the classroom
Our mission is help nurture the next generation of gritty problem-solvers, who learn by doing in real-world settings. We are doing this by bridging the widening gap between traditional curricula and what the next generation actually needs to thrive in the C21st.
From entrepreneurship to digital skills, and financial literacy to public speaking, Skills Genius covers topics that build the hard and soft skills critical to success in a fast-changing world.
Featuring passionate expert instructors, engaging and relevant high-end content, Skills Genius promotes learner agency, making it easy and fun for participants to develop the critical skills to unlock their full potential.
WHAT 1000 young entrepreneurs can teach us about grit, confidence and changing the world…
Alongside Skills Genius, we also run the Children’s Business Fair, a transformational event that has seen 1000+ young entrepreneurs (aged 7-17) launch 700+ businesses and make their own money.
During this time, we’ve witnessed how authentic, hands-on learning and real-world experiences allow young people to acquire key skills vital for life school and beyond.
CBF participants are grittier, more determined and unafraid of failure. They know how to solve problems creatively and collaborate effectively with their peers. They know how to listen and how to communicate. And, like every successful entrepreneur, they are used to thinking critically – all in the name of constantly improving their businesses.
We truly believe that young people are far more capable than any of us think. And when they are allowed to lead themselves, it’s truly astonishing to see how much they can achieve.
