START EARLY!

As with most things in life, the earlier we start to learn the easier it is to succeed.

Whether we are talking developing literacy and numeracy skills, learning a language, playing a musical instrument or understanding the world of work, the rules are the same. Practice matters. Coaching matters. Experience matters.

We need to immerse young people from the earliest age in the world of work. Helping them understand that work matters, that business is at the heart of health, wealth and happiness, that ideas can change your life and that persistence, determination and hard work are the keys to success whatever you do with your one, wild and precious life. We need to help young people recognise their uniqueness, find their element and develop the things they love and are passionate about.
