- Mindshop Excellence fast tracks the development of young minds through a one week employer hosted work experience program aimed at fostering skills such as team work and self confidence. Acting as company ‘executives’ for the week, students are given an issue by the host company and using powerful problem solving tools, find solutions to the issue as a team.
- “The Mindshop Program didn’t tell me what I want to do, but how I want to do it. The dreaded work experience turned out to be one of the best weeks in my life! It has redefined the attitude behind everything I do. It was so refreshing to be treated as adults with a job that had to be done and the freedom and motivation to do it well."
Dale Ahern – Year 10 Student
- “The structured approach to the program ensures that students develop, in a very short time, the skills required to research significant issues for the host company and to make meaningful recommendations at the end of the process."
Education & Training Programs Manager - Ballarat Community Education Centre.
- “It is very important that we make links between what we do at school and the world of work. This type of experience all leads to being a better person who can cope in the world. They see the skills needed, look for role models and see careers they may or may not be interested in."
Careers Coordinatator – Drouin Secondary College
- “I think there are a lot of take home message for us all, both in the value of the excellence program and the tools we tend to take for granted or under estimate their power. For me it was a great learning experience and I recommend excellence to those who have yet to take the step "
