About Achieve
What is Achieve?
The Fourth Industrial Revolution demands new skills for young people to succeed in an evolving workforce. These “Enterprise Skills’, also known as soft skills, 21st-century skills, or transferable skills, are now essential for navigating education, training, and employment transitions.
In collaboration with DeakinCo., The Eventful Learning Co., and through co-design with young people, educators, and thought leaders, The King’s Trust Australia developed Achieve: an inquiry-based framework that engages young people in learning through career education and Enterprise Skills development. Inspired by the successful Achieve program implemented by our UK counterparts, the Australian adaptation has been tailored to address the specific needs of young Australians, working closely with key stakeholders to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
The King’s Trust Australia is committed to supporting young people who are at risk of disengaging from education or are on the periphery of the labour market. We achieve our charitable purpose by providing these young people with opportunities in education, training, and employment.
We need to look at skill development differently
Achieve is designed to:
- Develop enterprise mindsets, skills and capabilities
- Adapt to any school or educational environment
- Adapt to employment programmes
- Be flexible in its approach and can be delivered across age groups
- Amplify existing programmes, campaigns and initiatives within schools across the community
- Fit within and enables existing education frameworks
- Enable educators to support young people without adding extra pressure
- Address disengagement alongside enterprise skill development
Achieve is fully subsidised thanks to support from our generous patrons.
The King’s Trust Australia provides all resources, training and support required to deliver Achieve.
Achieve has four key components: Who I Am, The Twenties, Make Action & Take Action.
