Did you know that only 20% of young people know what they are passionate about?
Or that in their lifetime the next generation is predicted to have 16 - 17 jobs over 5 to 7 careers?
Our Design Your Life course (licensed from Stanford University and adapted for our partner schools) applies the innovation principles of design thinking to one of life’s biggest challenges: designing your own path. The program equips students with tools, concepts, and frameworks to gain clarity on what they want to grow into and how to prototype their way forward.
This world-renowned course empowers and challenges students to take ownership of their futures, developing leadership as they explore, test, adapt, and collaborate to design the life they envision.
