The focus of illuminate Education Australia is activate young people to be confident, creative and capable people to reach their full potential, and do this through delivering authentic entrepreneurial education programs where problems in the community are solved by students. All of our programs are focused around developing a core set of skills that help students be prepared for the changing world, which we have grouped as; - Communication (Speaking, Writing & Presentation Skills) - Understanding (Critical Thinking, Inquiry, Digital & Financial Literacy) - Solving Problems (Creativity, Problem Solving & Reflection) - Working Smart (Collaboration, Organisation & Perseverance) Every program we deliver is focused on providing authentic experiences to develop and explore this skills, as well as providing young people an opportunity to showcase their capacity to their peers, the school community, family and the wider community. To do this, participants work through a relevant issue in their community and build a knowledge base around this to define the problem, creatively explore possible solutions, develop business models to create sustainable change, marketing collateral to gain a social license and even present a pitch and prototype of their idea – with all aspects of the challenge aligned to the curriculum as well as employability skill frameworks carefully delivered by experienced facilitators with real world industry experience. Founded in 2010 by Adam Mostogl, illuminate Education Australia has impacted over 12,500 students nationally, along with gaining international recognition for our work – however our focus has always been on providing the opportunity for students to believe in their full potential and help prepare them accordingly.
