The Model
The Institute's sustainable learning model is around students' development across three critical dimensions of sustainability which mirror the 'triple-bottom' line approach of enlightened business today. These are the factors of: Profitability; People; and the Planet, or Economic sustainability; Personal sustainability; and Environmental sustainability. In this way students will naturally grow in their thinking and experience to become holistic business leaders that factor in all key dimensions into their decision-making, always considering all stakeholders: employees; markets; customers; community; and the environment.
• Personal Sustainability:
o intensive skills development across 25-professional and life skills
o a strong remediation component in mathematics, English, and computer skills
o a core process for stress reduction, holistic brain development, inner healing and personal growth
• Economic Sustainability:
o allowing students to 'learn and earn' developing 20-workplace skills while still studying, and providing basic financial support
o a professional data capture facility and call centre available for experiential learning
• Environmental Sustainability:
o instilling critically needed understanding of the importance of the environment for everyone’s progress
o understanding climate change and what to do about it
o every student learns to become more in tune with nature and the environment and knows the importance of doing business in a way that is life supporting
