Our aims are to develop awareness of the habits of success and the key skills, personal qualities and basic competencies necessary to succeed.
We provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental environment for people to learn in, enabling people to understand and live by simple truths.
We help people to explore the world of work so they can identify a career path consistent with their personal strengths, values and goals.
We aim to offer solutions to some of the major challenges facing society today:
- Individuals failing or being failed
- Learned helplessness
- Selfishness
- Work being undervalued
- School a painful memory
- Increased reliance on the state
- Self-worth being eroded by hardship and prolonged unemployment
- Old certainties diminishing - a secure job, family support, sense of community
- People becoming more isolated, alienated, and scared
- Need for immediate gratification
