Where creativity meets opportunity.
Knoei Colab is an extra-curricular program designed for students to launch their business ideas, build in-demand skills, and connect with industry leaders for real employment opportunities.
What we do:
- We provide a space for young people to thrive – allowing them to dive into projects and passions with an innovative lens.
- We create future-focused learning experiences – giving young people a chance to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
- Young people apply their learning to real-world experiences – giving them chance to test out their ideas, make mistakes and learn.
- We’re innovative at heart – using AI and new digital technology to broaden and strengthen learning experiences.
- We care about each and every young person that joins the program – with small cohorts and x1 facilitator model, we’re devoted to creating a positive learning experience for everyone.
Join the exciting world of entrepreneurship with Knoei Colab’s innovation program that includes a Certificate IV in Entrepreneurship and New Business (BSB40320)*, a cool and different way to finish High School and launch yourself to University, a job or your own business.

What Lilla loves most about Knoei Colab is its flexibility and creativity. Held after school and online every Wednesday, the program gives her the freedom to continue mainstream school as well.
“It’s so different from mainstream school and I love that. It’s engaging because you spend time working on your own product idea, this is exciting, and it actually makes me want to learn,” says Lilla.
