“Your C. V. may get you the interview, but character will get you the job.”
Tim Peake – AstronautIn 2020, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released their list of skills that children would need to meet the needs of our rapidly changing world.
A third of these skills were the traditional “hard skills” – reading, writing and arithmetic – knowledge. These could be regarded as IQ skills.
The other two-thirds are what could be described as “soft skills”. So what are these skills? In 2018, the WEF released a further list: Judgement, decision making and people skills; Critical Thinking; Complex problem-solving; Cognitive flexibility; Emotional Intelligence and service orientation; Creativity; Coordination and Negotiation.
Developing a thriving enrichment program is essential for our young people of today. We believe enrichment promotes employability, academic attainment and teaches students the skills they need to make good, informed choices. A successful enrichment programme can promote the life-skills needed for everyday life, develop “soft skills” that employers and universities look for, while also giving students the opportunity to find out more about their interests and passions.
