Entrepreneurship for Soft Skill Building

What inspires students to identify and hone personal abilities and those brilliant “a-ha moments”?   What class or curriculum can support students in building the skills that matter in today's demanding workplace?  What tools in education measure soft skills? 

The skills and traits at the core of entrepreneurship are what can propel students along their journeys no matter what meets them post-graduation.  

Uncharted Learning re-imagined these traits as student outcomes -- entrepreneurial content skills & knowledge, mindset and behaviors are the foundation of our curriculum and assessments.

77% of recent high school students say they aren’t as prepared socially and emotionally as they are academically when they leave high school.

Building The Skills Required For Life’s Unpredictable Journey

Being prepared for a successful life isn't all about a stellar GPA.  SEL, social and emotional learning, is crucial for today’s youth and is increasingly becoming an area of focus for schools. Our programs support those efforts. Being an entrepreneur isn’t contingent upon monetary success or fame - it’s less about the outcome of the endeavor and more about the benefits and skills acquired from the journey, and the learning from failure along the way. Teaching entrepreneurship and teaching it early builds a foundation for success.

Uncharted Learning’s Entrepreneurial Stack

From our experience in entrepreneurship, successful entrepreneurs embody certain skills, mindsets, and behaviors. These traits happen to be the very same needed to survive in an uncertain, rapidly-changing workplace, marketplace, and economy. We re-imagined these traits as students outcomes - and they are the foundation of our programs. These programs are focused on developing skills around marketing (hipster), coding (hacker), and business and sales (hustler). Entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviors are fuel to make things happen.
