Our Approach
3 Ways We Work
We've created a 100-hour experience that delivers the most essential skills youth need to transition to work, combining training, mentorship, and practical experience starting a business.
We deliver this experience to youth in 3 ways.
All three delivery channels have been validated by several independent evaluations
School
Solutions
We deliver workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and 21st century skills training directly in schools.
Our experiential in-school models teach and give youth the opportunity to practice hard business skills (like opportunity identification and business planning) and soft/ transferable skills (like critical thinking and collaboration) within existing secondary schools.

Education System Solutions
We partner with governments to support the integration of evidence-based skills education into national education systems and invest in the continued assessment of this approach.
When requested by national education systems, we work together to integrate proven, practical hands-on experiences into secondary education curricula and pedagogy and continue to evaluate its effectiveness in improving youth life outcomes. This data-driven education reform is the most cost-effective way governments can make a large-scale, sustainable impact on millions of young people.

Out-of-School Youth Solutions
We’re creating industry-specific (agriculture, tourism) and group-specific (girls, literacy catch-up) bootcamps to equip out-of-school youth with the skills to successfully transition to quality employment.
These models offer youth who can’t access traditional secondary school an affordable education-to-employment pathway. Our bootcamps aim to provide youth with a relevant and directly applicable skills-based education, even if they can’t afford to attend high school.
