“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."
Mindshop Excellence student
Mindshop Excellence aims to provide you with a learning experience that will not only help develop your problem solving ability, time management skills, leadership skills, and give you a real insight into a workplace, but is also fun! In the traditional 5 day face to face program, you’ll become a company ‘executive’ and give your host company a practical and innovative plan to address the issue they have given you to work on for the week. The best part of the week is presenting all your hard work and solutions to your peers, teachers, parents and host company on the final day of the program.

What if I can’t participate in the core 5 day face to face program?
To allow us to support more students like yourself, without the barriers of distance or time required for the traditional face to face program, Mindshop designed an online training course to replicate the same learning experience to help you to build capability in problem solving skills, time management, goal setting and critical thinking. You’ll be guided on selecting a key issue or opportunity as your focus for the course and formulate solutions using the tools which will culminate in the development of a simple one page plan you can implement right away. These tools have application anywhere, your personal life, your school and if relevant, your workplace.
