Why did it work? So far we’ve been analyzing Skills Lab success factors. We believe that Skills Lab brought an unique combination made of:

- individual counseling

- a learning community

- a training program designed for the real life

- a strong ecosystem of companies and professionals

- a deeply passionate and committed team

Next Steps: • Validate the format through a second edition • Prepare a model to national and international

replication • Design an approach to go online • Publish Proprietary content

• Further test the Skills Lab soft skills learning approach

• Test the development of Job Centered Ecosystem (for cities) in other city than Braga
