SkillsCamp

SkillsCamp is a soft skills training company that works with businesses and educational institutions to help their staff and students develop the essential skills needed for personal and professional success. Across all industries, employers and industry leaders are identifying soft skills like communication, teamwork, time management, emotional intelligence, and leadership as critical skills for job hunters and employees alike.
Yet, these core skills and several others are relatively absent in the traditional education model. The result is students who become employees without the requisite abilities to excel in their careers. SkillsCamp teaches this “missing curriculum” to help people become more employable and more effective leaders and contributors. SkillsCamp offers live in-person and online programming, custom content, and a just-in-time online course portal.
Some of the skills taught at SkillsCamp include:
Active Listening
Burnout & Stress Management
Confident & Concise Communication
Empathy
Emotional Intelligence
Intergenerational Communication & Understanding
Leadership
Interviewing
Personal Branding
Productivity & Time Management
and many more...

It is through my work that I aim to make this world a better, more equitable, more empowering place for all. But because not everyone can afford those programs, philanthropy is the next natural step.

What Bailey Believes In

Causes

Education has always been my great exhilarator and motivator, but who, how, why, where, and what we educate on needs some work. I’m here to help fight for those changes.
Education Reform
Education should be holistic, widely available, decolonized, diversified, hands-on, and empowering for all, no matter who is in government
Womxn's Access to Education
The right kind of education (see above), especially for women, can change the course of entire communities. Education should be accessible to all.
Gender Equity in Business
Business should be diverse, inclusive, and womxn should be empowered with all they need to be part of entrepreneurship at the highest levels.
