PROFILE
Marco Renai founded Men of Business in 2011 after volunteering his time to support youth at risk. Marco’s passion for reforming the education system was born out of his own troubled experiences in school. After realising that there were no specific male focussed programs for young men who were struggling to engage in life and their education, he went back to his business community and piloted the first Men of Business program. 12 years later a simple pilot program has now grown into two academies, 35 passionate staff and 180 thriving students. He is committed to creating better futures for young men and their families on the Gold Coast through his passion and love for the boys and his drive to deliver education in an innovative and effective way.
The Academy bases it’s philosophy for education on the establishment and nurturing of positive and respectful relationships between adults and the young men to maximise their engagement, emotional wellbeing and academic achievement.
MOB Academy tailors its educational programs to promote continuous engagement, meet individual student learning needs, focusing heavily on student well-being, whilst exposing students to the essential literacy, numeracy and life skills required to function in today’s society. MOB Academy is designed to target individual student needs, interests and growth, whilst building resilience and confidence through a wide range of education programs.
