Get future of
work fit.
SkillGym is a community of innovators, designers, and entrepreneurs passionate about exploring the future of work and the skills needed for the modern age.
Each Meetup we'll explore a new skill, tool or mindset in an experiential, hands-on format; more like a workout than a workshop. These are free, casual events for anyone interested in keeping themselves future fit!

Adapting to Blended Working
Blended working (just like blended learning) involves a combination of the in-person and the virtual.

Three Ideation Tools Better than Brainstorming
Let's face it - we're all a bit sick of brainstorms. They're often upbeat and exciting, and they leave you feeling energised and accomplished - until you realise that you didn't come up with any practical ideas, and anyway, your boss is just going ahead with what they were already planning regardless.
How to Prototype your Tech Solution in an Hour
Whether it's a new app, an updated website, or the biggest viral sensation since Candy Crush, we know you've got a tech idea you've been wanting to test out. The trouble is, prototyping tech solutions is fiddly, time-consuming and expensive.
How Gamification can Supercharge Service Design
Gamification is the application of game elements to non-game contexts. It might sound a bit dry, but it's actually a lot of fun to think about how adding reward systems, player progression, competition and narrative to other parts of life can improve our experiences.
A truly immersive hands-on workshop with invaluable insights and take home learnings. The coffee's pretty good too!
The workshops are so informative and interactive. I enjoy engaging with the content and having the opportunity to work with people from various backgrounds. The facilitators are so well informed and are always helpful with even the toughest of questions.
It was so good that I lost track of the time. A very engaging and practical workshop - I'm so glad that I decided to attend! Thank you for all the resources.
Loved the practical, hands-on workshop and the passion with which Nate shared such an interesting and important topic.
A great workshop, fully loaded with inspiration for real-world application of innovation principles
SOMA helped me unlock new ways of working.
"This workshop was an excellent introduction to customer-centered design thinking for our staff. The perfect balance of theory and practice, leaving participants energised to immediately dive into customer experience mapping and service blueprinting within their teams. Sincere thanks for a fun and very productive morning!"
