Our Visionary Partners
- 50% of school leavers say school did not equip them with relevant skills
- They don't know what skills are wanted of them or what skills they have
- 55% of businesses face skill shortages costing the economy £12.8 Billion
"Lets build a digital skills solution that redefines how Gen Z acquire future-fit skills, that makes high-valued careers more visible & accessible, and moves our school leavers towards prosperous futures."
Gem Hallett, miFuture Founder
Gen Z tell us they do not know about skills, roles, and sectors of the future and cannot visualise higher valued career pathways - There's a lack of awareness!
There is a mismatch in understanding the skills that are, and will be in-demand and how they go about building them - Future focussed skill development is key!
It goes without saying that if we improve these, we also tackle the dire skill shortage and increase the volume of future talent for Welsh organisations.
We need an innovation that embeds skill-based microlearning and assessment, through which we believe games design elements/ gamification is the ‘vehicle’.
We know 'why' we need to build a solution, we now need the brightest, most innovative, and creative minds in one room to help figure out 'how' to do it.
Forge new relationships and seize the opportunity to learn from others, experts, and innovators. Who knows it could lead to other opportunities.
If you have the skills and experience to build the best solution, we have a prize fund for you to create a desktop demo/ prototype.
If you feel passionate about solving this problem for the next generation, and feel that our Gen Z deserve better, come play your part.
8:30am arrive for coffee and refreshments for a prompt 9am start. Join your working group, for welcome, introductions, and brief. Learn how we got here and our ambition to tackle Gen Z skills development with operation 'Skill Bursts'.
