$20 Boss toolkits.

To ensure you have the resources to maximise learning, we have provided three tool kit options to choose from based on your requirements.

All toolkits include...

A comprehensive learner journey.

A comprehensive learner journey that is organised into phases designed to promote critical and creative thinking. In the ‘Problem Space’, learners identify the problem they’re aiming to address with their social enterprises and the positive impact they’re seeking to have in their local communities. The ‘Solution Space’ is where learners design, prototype and test their innovative product or service ideas, and get prepared for business trading.
