Mindshop Excellence is the community purpose of the Mindshop organisation – it's our way of giving back to the community by providing a valuable learning opportunity to future young leaders. It is a structured work place learning program, in place of the traditional work experience, where small groups of up to six Year 10 or Year 11 (15/16 year old) students are placed into a host organisation for one week. Acting as company ‘executives' for the week, the group are given a real issue by the host company and using powerful problem solving tools, taught to the students on Day 1 of the program by an experienced Mindshop Advisor, find solutions to the issue as a team. On the final day of the program, students present their findings and recommendations to the host company's management, team, school representatives and parents. For students unable to participate in the core program, they can learn the same tools and processes through an online problem-solving course and apply the tools to a real issue of importance to the student.
