2nd Module | Check4TechnicalSkills & Play4TechnicalSkills

This module provides clarity on aspects of how young people realize that they perform naturally in some areas of their lives. e.g. the ability to appreciate distance, to measure, the synchronization between eyes and hands, peripheral vision that allows them to see objects around them without having to turn their head or move their eyes, etc.

4th Module | Play4FutureJobs

With Play4FutureJobs, we offer the young person a broad, largely optimistic view of the future, which we believe will be useful in understanding the continuing trends in the hyper-technologized job market. In doing so, the young person will discover a surprisingly complex set of skills needed and rewarded in the future labor market, by gaining a well-rounded experience of what the occupations of the future could be.

In the simulation there are 106 jobs of the future, organized by applicability: "jobs requiring people skills", "jobs requiring practical skills" and "jobs requiring high-performance digital skills". Many of these occupations exist in one form or another today, but the future of jobs involves the expansion of technology and a different dynamic due to social, climatic, geological, health, military and financial challenges. This gives young people the opportunity to realize the importance of higher-order cognitive skills such as complex problem solving, originality, fluency of ideas and active learning, which research shows will be the most in-demand skills in the future.

So young people are exploring their own school/academic and professional interests in order to imaginatively design their future jobs, based on the premise that humans cannot be replaced by machines as long as they have developed cognitive, deeply human and interpersonal skills, as well as specific skills in managing and handling new technologies. Robots and autonomous machines will increasingly quickly take over heavy, repetitive and easily standardized jobs, but there will be an even greater need for efficient humans to program and manage automated processes.

5th Module | Interactions4Skills

We can organize

Living Library type events, where young people can interact directly with company specialists, reflecting on their career paths and career success
Visits to production sites/facilities and interaction with management teams; in some cases, we can ˝put a business problem on the table˝ for young people to come up with solutions
Shadowing in specific departments/business areas
Workshops focused on the development of technical and hard skills in the companies' sphere of activity
Pre-requisites for internships, internship programs and even part-time jobs

Career Day

Broader program model facilitating young people's interaction with business professionals

Visits to companies/manufacturing companies' administrative premises and operational/production sites
Inspirational events with managers and specialists from different industries
First job programs.

6th Module | Orientation4Career

The more intimately a person is aware of his or her strengths, personal traits, attitudes and behaviors, and how he or she responds to life's challenges, the more adequately he or she can lay the foundation for building a mindset centered on personal development. This kind of openness provides the individual with new avenues of exploration for further self-discovery.

Self-discovery, especially at an early age, is an essential part of developing a strong personal ethic, defined by resilience and perseverance. Achieving this requires time for introspection. Finding out what sparks our interest, what we are inherently good at, what we like to do, and what external conditions are most conducive to performing effectively can mean learning what we don't like, which is very challenging and frustrating. This kind of learning can help us decide on ˝our own feet˝ when to call on others for help, how to more effectively analyze the resources we have or need, and plan for tasks that are really challenging.

This process - soliciting the support of others, proactively seeking support, planning for success - requires a mature mindset and is a prerequisite for developing a strong character with internal locus of control. The process of self-discovery is unique to each person, depending on the starting point, the degree of vulnerability, the level of courage and curiosity, and much more. However, everyone's journey of self-discovery has the same ultimate goal of identifying purpose, realizing the goals that matter and actualizing one's inner potential.
