Ambition PLUS is an immersive careers-focused program that aims to help students learn skills and knowledge to improve all aspects of their lives. The program provides tools and resources for students to grow their current skill set and discover career pathways that suit their interests and passions. Over 330 students from 10 schools participated in various activities, such as keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and masterclasses, that covered topics such as personal development, communication, leadership, entrepreneurship, and more.
The highlights of the program were the keynote speaker sessions, where students had the opportunity to hear from two inspiring and successful individuals. Gianna Lucas is a keynote and motivational speaker, educator, and life coach for young people. She shared her insights and tips on how to overcome challenges, build confidence, and pursue one’s goals with passion and purpose.
"Ambition Plus has been useful in opening my mind to different career paths and instilling core values and self-confidence. I learnt there is more than the simple path to success, the importance of setting goals and that without failure there is no success and that when you fail you just have to try and try again until you succeed"
