What is the problem you found?

How might we teach students general life skills and provide them with tools that will help them after finishing school?

Customer / Problem

Our customers are students who are close to finishing school but lack 'life skills' to do cope with life after high school.

They do not know how to do things such as how to find a job, write a resume or  apply for jobs, manage their finances, cook food for themselves or how to live on their own. 

What Is Your Solution?

We believe that the education system isn't preparing students the real world. By teaching young adult’s life skills such as applying for jobs and learning how to balance school and personal life we will be giving these students the tools they need to succeed.

'Life Skills' will deliver workshops at schools in the Logan area that focus on teaching students real-life applicable skills that will help them once they graduate from high school. They offer two different workshops, one which targets students in Years 9 and 10 and another which targets students in Years 11 and 12.
