About LifeWorks
LifeWorks is a free, life-education programme delivered by The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand. The LifeWorks programme is based on the hugely successful Mahi Ora programme (see other projects by Scribe Limited) and has now attracted over 20,000 students.

LifeWorks invites students to take a fresh look at their lives, including their jobs, their health, finances, relationships and educational choices. The programme is delivered over a 12-month period in the form of six kits of learning materials. Each kit contains DVDs, CDs, books, and other useful life-development resources. These resources help students make choices about their lives and their futures.

Each LifeWorks student is assigned a coach who supports the student during his or her learning on the programme. LifeWorks Coaches also deliver the programme assessment.

Our Involvement
Scribe Limited was involved in the initial brainstorming sessions for the LifeWorks programme. From these session, Scribe Limited created project briefs and tables of contents for each of the books. Our writers then worked within budget to write and edit the books. Our writers also proofed the books after lay-up by a graphic artist.

Towards the end of the creation of the LifeWorks programme, Scribe Limited was awarded the contract to direct the Life After LifeWorks video; the final video in the programme. More recently, Scribe Limited has been involved in direction of the review of the Introduction to LifeWorks video.
