Claudius
I learnt how to be confident and assertive with the
skill and abilities I never knew I already had. It
taught me how to pass on information and
supporting skill to those who may have low self-
esteem or those who are unable to recognise their
own potential.
They made me feel that I was part of a family,
rather than that I was just in a class of people. The
delivery of the class was excellent and I would
recommend this to anyone.
Thank you for all your support and guidance... you
will always be my family.”

OUR SOLUTION — GETTING PEOPLE MARKET-READY
The coaches were able to help
me see in myself some things
that I was unable or didn't
really think mattered in getting
a job.
I now find that I can reach out
and look at jobs I did not feel I
had the capacity to do.
Thanks, Sylvana and the Skills
Camps group”.

23. What were we right about
TRACTION AND VALIDATION
What were we wrong about?
What surprised us
This demographic needs very deep work.
Breakthroughs are possible
This increases participation in the economy. This demographic can be
inventive and resourceful
The community was more fractured than we thought. Higher level of distrust
Knowledge about how things get done is less then we thought
How much resistance there was at first both in the labs and the Skills Camps
That people stayed at the labs for a full day.
The very small interventions that can make all the difference
