Learn to Start®

A Transformative Model for Human Development

Learn to Start has spent a decade engineering a new model of education capable of claiming the development of market-ready students.

THE LEARN TO START MODEL

Originally founded in the discipline of entrepreneurship, the Learn to Start model has been built over a decade of research and practice in direct partnership with students, markets, and educators throughout the world.

This model moves students away from a traditional system of academics to one capable of developing in them highly demanded, market-based skills.

We call this student, “Market-Ready.”

Understanding the Learn to Start System of Assessment

Through the Learn to Start process, students develop the skills and mindset to be competitive, aligned, and productive inside 21st-century markets using our K-Market™ model of learning.

A REIMAGINED MODEL OF LEARNING

LTS Model empowers students to develop voice, choice, and independence in their formative years of education, and enter their field of interest with a portfolio that proves their value and the confidence to claim it. 

Using the LTS Model students leverage their passions and interests to answer the only three questions that matter when they enter the marketplace as producers, not just consumers.

01
WHO ARE YOU?
02
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
03
HOW CAN YOU PROVE IT?

How can you prove it?

A Model Designed for 21st-Century Human Development

The LTS Model develops students to approach college and market entrance with purpose. LTS students create a market-ready portfolio that communicates their experience and focus towards competitive industry employment and/or entrepreneurship for self-employment.

This is accomplished using a transformative model of learning designed to begin at the beginning using a throughline that will ultimately empower students to identify pathways aligned to their passions, interests and purpose.

Why entrepreneurship?

The Learn to Start Difference

The traditional structure of education prohibits a formative learning experience. Learn to Start has been invented to ensure students experience and learn from failure. This drives a powerful solution that solves a massive gap between what industry demands in their labor forces and what education is currently producing
