Social Innovators

Young people work in teams to generate ideas that showcase new and ingenious ways to care for our planet and help more people to live healthy, prosperous and connected lives.

CIC leads teams through our 4-stage innovation process to arrive at fresh and achievable ideas. Business and community are connected into the process to provide feedback on pitches and help teams advance great ideas. Ideas are showcased on the CICbeyond online gallery so that they can be shared to a local and national audience.

Following their participation in Social Innovators, many teams want to bring their idea to life. CIC provides teams with the coaching, skills, connections that need to advance their idea in collaboration with business and community.

To see this process in action is to witness the CIC team explain to our young people what they are, simply, our every hope for the future. CIC convey belief and hold the highest expectations such that students bravely engage in extraordinary thinking processes; processes that are at heart of the future of work.
