School Careers Days

Youth Entrepreneurship

The need

One of the key challenges parents and youth face is lack of effective career advising, counseling and mentorship within our current educational system. The gap is due to lack of programs specifically designed for career preparation, educational excellence, leadership and character development.

The need below is further explained by the two videos below of Virginia's Community Colleges Career Coache and TV interview on Careers preparation;

Our Solution

Our program fills this gap through training to schools, and private students. Our aim is to improve speed and quality of learning which first begins by an understanding of one's self - for which we leverage the Memletics learning style inventory and the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) tests - to bring out the best in students and deliver the desired future.

Understanding of student Personality Type can assist in educational preparation and career development by;

Appreciating that each person has different learning style, learning techniques and mix of learning styles
Research into learning styles has grouped common ways that people learn
Appreciate that some people have a dominant style, with far less use of other styles
Some people use different styles in different circumstances; one can develop ability in less dominant styles or further develop styles one already uses well
