How Catalyst Works
Our objectives of the enke: Catalyst Program are to:
- Contribute to reducing the youth NEET rate to <30% by 2030.
- Break the continuum of hopelessness of out-of-school, post-school youth by rebuilding their self-belief and resilience through training, practical experience and inspiration.
- Inspire and support a bias toward entrepreneurship and innovation by helping young people develop the skills, networks and desire to identify and access opportunity.
- Provide an intervention that is accessible for post-school non-Matriculants to improve their futures.
The Program is made up of 3 core modules and has been delivered as a mix of residential and non-residential training:
- REBOOT / Personal Development Skills: Participants are taken through rigorous personal development training focused on rebuilding self-belief, self-confidence and essential social skills to succeed in a professional setting.
