What is d-lab ?
d-lab is a unique skills development and work-readiness programme for unemployed young people. We focus on design thinking and on developing the digital skills, character and ways of working needed to be successful, innovative and collaborative leaders. We enable our students to develop the competence and confidence to work well in teams to solve complex problems.
Why?
Many corporate employers express frustration at the poor levels of work-readiness of young people entering the workplace.
They point to a gap between the knowledge and skills developed by formal education and the competences needed to successfully enter and flourish in the modern, fast-changing, digitally-driven world of work.
How to become job-ready?
Over the course of six months, full-time, we are developing empathetic, collaborative, creative and imaginative young problem solvers – 21st century innovators who are effective in future-proofing the companies in which they ultimately work.
