Empowering young people to see themselves in higher education is an important part of what we do at UniSC. Our Agava’a Mentorship Program is changing the game for Year 12 Māori and Pasifika students across Moreton Bay – helping them envision futures in higher education by combining cultural belonging with practical guidance. Through hands-on workshops, on-campus experiences, and mentorship rooted in shared heritage, this initiative is more than just “preparation.” It’s about creating culturally safe spaces where students feel seen, heard, and connected – to their culture, to each other, and to the options before them. Our leaders of the program say it’s reciprocal: while students gain confidence and clarity about study and career pathways, mentors, organisers and educators are also enriched and informed by the students’ perspectives. We’re honoured to walk alongside these students as they take the next steps in their career journey, and we look forward to seeing where their futures lead. 🔗 More about the Agava’a Mentorship Program: https://bit.ly/4pMsQnw

History in the Making: KJI Welcomes Its First Cohort This week marks a milestone in the history of graduate education — and for everyone who believes in the power of lifelong learning. The Knowles Johnson Institute of Graduate Studies (KJI) officially welcomes its inaugural cohort of students, the first to begin this transformational academic journey. Rooted in the pioneering work of Dr. Malcolm Knowles and Dr. Leo Johnson, KJI was founded to restore the deeply human, mentor-guided learning experience that modern education too often leaves behind. Our founders envisioned a university where students and faculty collaborate to ensure their learning experience is uniquely designed to support their life goals and aspirations. They wouldn't just earn degrees, but become practicing scholars — experts in their chosen fields, thinkers, and leaders who practically apply research and reflection to make a positive impact on the lives of others, their communities, and professions. What makes this moment historic is not simply that classes are beginning — but the lost art of an individual-centric classical education is being reimagined and coming to life in an entirely new model of a graduate education. The Knowles Johnson Institute represents the culmination of two decades of dedication by educators who studied directly with Dr. Knowles and Dr. Johnson and have committed to carrying forward their legacy. Our founders built KJI for those who believe that learning is most powerful when it is personal, relational, and transformative. Every course integrates research with professional application, every mentor relationship is individualized, and every student’s learning plan evolves with their goals. As our first cohort begins their studies, we celebrate not only their courage to embark on this path but also the generations of adult learners whose wisdom, curiosity, and integrity made this Institute possible. Follow the Knowles Johnson Institute to see how this first chapter unfolds!

Our year-long initiative, Vartha is designed to transform learning from taking classroom concepts and connecting them through an experiential platform. Over the course of an academic year, learners engage deeply with current affairs of different levels, helping them analyse and understand how governance, policy, and global events shape our daily lives. Complementing current events, learners explore the connection between real-world events and their simulations through paced Model United Nations training. The program is paced to help learners master different aspects of an effective delegate and leader such as research, lobbying, negotiation, documentation, and public speaking. Vartha is a transformative journey which enables learners to cultivate and sharpen their skills while also understanding the world around them. Vartha proves to be an investment for our partner institutions in the long run by cementing a culture of experiential and holistic learning. This initiative helps our partner institutions align their education program to the National Education Policy, 2020 (NEP 2020) and develop globally aware citizens. The initiative is tailored to our partner’s ethos to ensure seemless integration into the academic calendar of the institution and having maximum impact to ensure Together We Learn. #weLearnIndia #Vartha #CurrentAffairs #ModelUnitedNations #LeadershipDevelopment #ExperientialLearning #FutureOfLearning #YouthLeadership #TogetherWeLearn #EducationIndia

Remodeling Contractors: Why do this Alone? :: Knowledge Builds Strength. Join our network of 90+ business owners.
Pro Tip: Hire people that are smarter than you are. Pro Tip2: Hire people that have a servants heart. Pro Tip3: Hire people that can execute like a savage. Pro Tip4: If at all possible, figure this out before you're 50. (that one was a little self-serving) Seriously though, all these apply to every small business. Ever. Yes, I know... "easy to sit there and post about hiring the right people, I'm just trying to get my business off the ground. I'm just trying to FIND people. you don't understand dude... you're 52 years old and already successful and very handsome." Something like that... Point is: F^*% off. I absolutely DO understand. I've been in the small business trenches. For 30 years. I know it's hard. I know these "posts" seem like they apply to bigger businesses. I know that when you're grinding your way to the first $1MM in sales, that you don't exactly have the luxury of "hiring the right people". Doesn't mean the principles don't apply. Doesn't mean you can't file it away, and add to your personal context. Doesn't mean you won't be faced with a personnel decision, TOMORROW, and remember these nuggets. Now I'm rambling. Here's another "Point is:" Starting a small business is hard. Why do it ALONE? If you're looking to start a home improvement business, why not talk to us? Wouldn't it help to have: - Mentors and fellowship - Pre-built systems and assets - Lead gen programs - Training - Meetings - Buying Power No? What do I know. Fine. Do it yourself. Hire the wrong people. Spend years figuring it out yourself. I don't know why I got all salty this morning. Nothing against you. I think I'm just tired of seeing young home improvement entrepreneurs too proud to join up with an organization that is truly built to serve. Maybe they remind me of myself. 30 years go. Ugh. Here's what I know: If you want to start a retail replacement window company, we can help you. Real help. Why do this ALONE? https://lnkd.in/d_nHkt6 #windowdepotpartnership #servantsavage
Digital Marketing Director. Motivator. Culture Creator. Producer. Frontman. Adventurer. Husband. Father. Not necessarily in that order.
I’m honored to share that I’ve been invited to serve as a mentor for the Mitchell College MLab Program this year. 🙌🏼😁 As a mentor, I’ll have the privilege to: • Support students’ professional skill development • Motivate and encourage their learning journey • Share knowledge and real-world experiences from my own career • Participate in workshops and class sessions • Provide feedback and guidance along the way Mitchell College, founded in 1938 in New London, CT, has a rich history of fostering student growth and innovation. Originally named New London Junior College, it became Mitchell College in 1950, and today its programs (like the MLab Program) continue to prepare students to thrive in the workplace and beyond. I’m truly excited to be part of this tradition, to give back, and to help the next generation of professionals develop their skills and confidence. Here’s to a year of learning, mentoring, and growth! 💪🏼🚀 #GivingBack #Mentorship #MLab

3dHaving spent the past two decades as a development activist in Nepal, I have seen first-hand the enormous need for such counselling services for our high schools student. The University of the Sunshine Coast's initiative is therefore a welcome development, and I would be thrilled to see such support extended to schools in the rural Himalayas of Nepal 🙏 .
