Student Keys

StudentKeys is designed to help students thrive in school, careers, and life by identifying and nurturing their natural strengths in several key areas. Through our program, students gain insight into their communication styles, learning preferences, thinking processes, and decision-making strategies. This initiative is specifically geared toward 11th- and 12th-grade students who are children of Bahamian first responders and is connected to our Summer Empowerment Camp.

Embracing Students’ Strengths

The StudentKeys program, developed by PeopleKeys, was designed to identify soft-skill strengths in young people. Many college campuses and corporations are embracing “strengths” as a concept to drive “ownership” of individual and corporate success. The emphasis in many institutions today is to identify student and employee “strengths” and then give individuals opportunities to confirm their strengths through work or class endeavors. This innovative approach to empowering people is commonly called a “strength-based” approach.

Higher education has typically concentrated on a remedial approach. Strength-based approaches to communicating, learning, motivating, and making career decisions focus upon the positive qualities of the individual and how to enhance, encourage, and maximize those areas.
