This Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) application seeks to establish a transformative collaboration between Entelechy Academy and a leading UK academic institution. The project’s central aim is to revolutionise our educational product by integrating advanced, evidence-based research into two critical areas: workplace psychology and trends in the new work-ready generation (encompassing Generation Z and emerging cohorts). These areas are pivotal to understanding how individuals thrive in modern work environments and how educational platforms can best prepare students for future career success. Workplace psychology explores the behavioural, emotional, and cognitive factors that influence performance, collaboration, and well-being in professional settings—key considerations for designing impactful learning experiences. Meanwhile, trends in the new work-ready generation highlight the evolving skills, values, and expectations of younger learners entering the workforce, such as their reliance on digital tools, preference for flexibility, and demand for purpose-driven education. By embedding insights from these fields into our platform, we aim to iterate and significantly enhance our product, ensuring it remains relevant, engaging, and competitive in a crowded market. The KTP offers a unique solution by combining academic expertise, graduate talent, and Innovate UK funding to deliver a structured, impactful project. Workplace Psychology Research : extrinsic drivers), emotional intelligence (e.g., Explore how these factors can be taught or reinforced through online education, such as via scenario-based learning or reflective exercises. coding, data analysis) and soft skills (e.g., Examine their educational preferences, such as demand for short-form content (micro-credentials), gamified learning, or peer-to-peer collaboration. Assess their workplace expectations, including remote work readiness, diversity and inclusion priorities, and career mobility aspirations. Help to Design at least five new modules (e.g., “Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace,” “Adapting to Remote Work,” “Creative Problem-Solving for Teams”) that integrate research findings. Create adaptive curricula that adjust content based on student performance, preferences, and career goals, using insights from motivational psychology (e.g., Develop a machine learning algorithm that analyses student data (e.g., quiz scores, engagement metrics) to personalise content delivery in real-time. Ensure the system supports at least 80% of Entelechy Academy’s course catalogue by project end. Create digital tools (e.g., virtual simulations, AI-scored reflective tasks) to evaluate soft skills like resilience, collaboration, and communication, with feedback loops for student improvement. Staff Training : survey design, qualitative analysis) and data analytics (e.g., SPSS, Python). Conduct six training workshops over the project duration, led by the academic partner and graduate associate. Develop a research toolkit (e.g., templates, software licenses) for internal use post-project.
