I love the group learning – I’ve made some great friends.

The Knoei Colab has given me the confidence to use my experience to help others. I am developing an AI app which will remove the boundaries between parents and teens having difficult conversations.

Groei helps bridge the skills gap of both businesses and the workforce

“Programs like Talent Accelerate are essential because they address two key challenges: helping businesses find skilled employees and ensuring students are prepared for meaningful careers.”
– Tim Kelly
Aeronautical Engineer and Industry Body Director of
Manufacturing Excellence Forum Sunshine Coast (MEFSC)

Building a strong ecosystem for our young female founders is vital.

“I’ve noticed a consistent decline in support for new entrepreneurs eager to learn the necessary skills over the years. That’s why programs like Knoei Launchpad are so crucial; they provide the support and resources that young entrepreneurs need.” 
– Steph Piper
Creative Technologist & Launchpad Mentor

When they ditch their pitch notes and speak from the heart.

“Seeing their confidence soar as they take ownership of their ideas makes my role so rewarding. I know that learning is most powerful when it’s relevant, practical and gives students real-world skills they can carry into the future.” 
-Joelle McCully
Groei Program Facilitator

Traditional pathways can feel outdated or disconnected from real careers.

“I am committed to building a future where education sparks curiosity, embraces creativity, and fosters resilience. The world isn’t asking for perfect exams or test scores. It’s asking for thinkers, doers, and problem-solvers.” 
-Tara Jacobsen
Groei Co-Founder & Director

Knoei Colab has had such a positive impact on my child’s educational experience.

“My daughter has been really disengaged with her schooling this year – bored, over it all and just really tired of the same teaching style and content across the board. Knoei Colab really has been such a positive and engaging experience for her. Thank you Joelle for being an amazing teacher, one I know she’ll think fondly of forever.”

The mentorship has been phenomenal – real industry leaders guiding us every step of the way.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do after school. I knew I was passionate about creativity and entrepreneurship but wasn’t sure where to start. Knoei has been a revelation, it’s not just a program; it’s a community of like-minded individuals where I have a space to explore ideas and get an industry recognised qualification.”
