Build the Skills That Actually Matter

Evidence-based courses that equip teens and young adults with the cognitive, emotional, and social skills they need to thrive in school, work, and life.

Equip Your Teen or Young Adult for Real-World Success

You’ve invested in your child’s education, now give them the life skills that actually predict success. Power Skills courses teach the stress management, learning strategies, professional competencies, and relationship skills that school doesn’t cover but life requires.

Benefits for Your Teen or Young Adult:

  • Build resilience to handle academic pressure, social challenges, and life transitions with confidence
  • Improve academic performance through proven study strategies and stress management techniques
  • Gain career readiness with professional skills employers actually want: communication, collaboration, financial literacy, and workplace navigation
  • Develop emotional intelligence for healthier relationships with family, friends, and future colleagues
  • Prevent burnout by learning sustainable approaches to work, school, and well-being
  • Prepare for independence with practical life skills like budgeting, professional communication, and self-advocacy

Why Power Skills Training Works:

  • Evidence-based curriculum developed by a PhD psychologist, not generic advice or trends
  • Self-paced online format fits busy schedules around school, work, sports, and activities
  • Immediately applicable tools your teen can use right away in their daily life
  • Addresses real gaps in traditional education that leave young people unprepared for college, careers, and adulthood

Smart Investment: For less than the cost of a few tutoring sessions, your teen gains comprehensive skills that serve them for life, not just one test or one class. These are the competencies that predict long-term success, well-being, and adaptability in an ever-changing world.

Your institution teaches content knowledge, but students need more to succeed. Power Skills courses provide evidence-based training in resilience, learning strategies, professional skills, and mental fitness, the competencies that predict retention, graduation, and career readiness.

Benefits:

  • Improve retention & graduation rates by equipping students with stress management and resilience skills
  • Boost academic performance through proven learning strategies and self-regulation techniques
  • Prepare career-ready graduates who meet employer expectations for professional skills
  • Scale support efficiently without adding permanent staff, reach all students with turnkey curriculum
  • Demonstrate commitment to whole-student development for accreditors and stakeholders

 

Flexible Implementation: Integrate into your LMS as credit courses, first-year experience programs, or co-curricular requirements, or provide access through our platform.

Entry-level employees ages 18-25 often arrive with enthusiasm but lack the professional skills, financial literacy, and workplace competencies needed to thrive. Power Skills courses transform inexperienced workers into confident, capable contributors while demonstrating your investment in their development.

Reduces Turnover & Builds Loyalty:

  • Young employees stay when they feel supported and equipped for success, not frustrated and overwhelmed
  • Training in professionalism, communication, and workplace navigation reduces early-exit frustration
  • Financial literacy helps employees manage entry-level salaries and reduce financial stress that drives job-hopping
  • Work engagement and well-being modules prevent burnout and build long-term resilience

 

Improves Performance & Productivity:

  • Professional communication training reduces misunderstandings and improves team collaboration
  • Time management and execution skills help young workers meet deadlines and quality standards
  • Initiative and self-direction training decreases need for constant supervision
  • Digital citizenship and AI collaboration skills prepare workers for modern workplace demands
