Why ‘2-3 Degrees’?
Much of what we learn at school doesn’t equip young people with the key personal development skills that will help them fulfil their potential beyond the school gates. Some of these key life skills are confidence, public speaking, learning how to network and many other tools that help young people grow. The education system is the only sector that has not adapted and evolved since its inception; young people are leaving with the capacity to memorise for the purpose of academia, but not the resilience, confidence and self-esteem to become the best version of themselves. The founders of 2-3 Degrees were passionate to ensure that every young person is given access to personal development skills to become the best versions of themselves.
