1 DEGREE WORKSHOPS officially begun in 2009. Our training development and delivery skills started in 1999 where we were working with young underprivileged kids in a low decile school, supporting them to engage in school and learn. While it was a passion activity in 1999, it began to grow into a career in the health sector and then the corporate sector with a company called Zealmark Group. This led us to developing a training partner in Malaysia called Geopower, where we worked with various government departments, training them in Malaysia, Sweden and New Zealand.  This experience helped us define our target audience. After one of the workshops, a participant shared:

 

"I wish I knew this about myself before I choose my career, I now know why I struggle coming to work everyday, I am in the wrong department.  Had I known this information about myself earlier, I would be living my dream job."

 

He also recommended, we create school formats for these workshops to help our future generation make better vocational decisions not career decisions, with the ultimate goal to help young people make decisions that will lead them to living out their passions and dreams.

​

Since 2010, we have built a repertoire of training programs based on student life-skills, leadership skills, vocational pathways, relationships skills, financial skills etc. - see our repertoire here
