Teacher recruitment leader Hays and Persona Education have come together to make free student Careers resources and Teacher CPD courses available for teachers in the Hays Education Hub.

Persona Life Skills is the only personal development platform with personality insights at its heart, where students age 13-19 develop social-emotional skills supporting wellbeing, academic and employability outcomes. 

Three student Career readiness courses and three teacher professional development courses are available free in the Hays Education Hub, a growing library of digital learning resources designed to empower staff and pupils. 

With the INSPIRE student PDF resources teachers can now guide students in getting to know themselves better with the Persona Insights personality quiz, and use these insights to prepare them for work experience by building transferable skills.

Do you know an angel investor?

97% of teachers using Persona Life Skills say it improves their students' employability, and 94% say it boosts wellbeing.

We are now raising a pre-seed investment round – EIS Assured so it's tax efficient – to help make Persona Life Skills even better for students, teachers and schools.

The funding will be used for:

  • Making Persona Life Skills more engaging and interactive
  • Adding short video content to make it more accessible
  • Increasing school support to boost training and onboarding

We already have investors backing us but there is still some equity up for grabs. So if you know someone who is interested in supporting a social impact start-up with great market traction, led by an experienced team with a proven track record, please ask them to get in touch.

Thank you for reading! You can also find previous issues of this newsletter here.
