Amica Work-Readiness Program

Fast Track Program

The Fast Track Program powers through key skill development areas for students on the verge of entering the workforce. This program is designed to help students understand their strengths, effective collaboration skills and what to expect in a workplace.


MODULE EXAMPLES

  • Day 1:  We focus on understanding personal strengths, workplace expectations and building strong working relationships with colleagues and management.  

  • Day 2: A deep dive into understanding strengths and how to build high performing teams through strengths diversity. We also build foundation skills for interviews including communication basics.  

  • Day 3: This is all about creative thinking. We challenge students to use human-centred design to brainstorm solutions to a problem. They then work collaboratively to develop presentations on their thinking, ideas and processes.

Amica Schools Program FAQs.

How many students can participate in a program?

In order to deliver the best learning experience, we have a ratio of no more than 50:1 students to faciltator. For groups above this number, we’d suggest conducting two separate programs or sessions.

Can you run programs over school holidays?

Yes, we can and this is a great way to keep the momentum going over the holiday period. As long as we have a venue and school representatives in attendance, we’re good to go!

Can we pause a program due to unforeseen events?

We’re flexible and can adjust schedules to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.

Are Maxme facilitators Working With Children certified?

Yes, all our coaches and in fact our entire Maxme team have their Working with Children certification. We can provide these details along with any other vaccination details in advance of coming to your school.

Does a teacher or parent need to be present during an Amica program?

Yes, we do require teaching staff to be present during a program. This is both to hep supervise the students but also provides the opportunity for teachers to absorb content and perhaps reflect on how they can continue the learning post-program.

Do students need access computers to access Amica?

Because Amica is an online system (purpose-built by Maxme) students will require access to a computer. This is because as part of the program, they need to set up confidential profiles and complete online activities. The upside is that they can continue to access content after the program has finished.
