Important: SEVENmile Ltd ceased trading on June 30, 2024. During the almost six years since we incorporated, we greatly impacted our region of Sydney and the 1500 year 9-11 students who attended our skills development workshops.

The SEVENmile Board made the difficult decision to close the company, given a dearth of grant funding, minimal financial support from local, state, and federal governments, and the cancellation of funding from the NSW Department of Education for our high school program. We are grateful for the support we have received from all our stakeholders and for the pro bono support of Michael Zhu and his company, Corporate Advantage.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the generous people who have served as Directors of SEVENmile, especially the SEVENmile Board, for their commitment and service to the company.

Greg Twemlow and Mitchell Filby designed the programs that SEVENmile delivered. The programs are proven and remain relevant, particularly since they were redesigned in 2023 to incorporate AI. Greg and Mitchell can deliver the programs through their joint business, Future Skills Studio.

SEVENmile Ltd has closed its operations without outstanding financial commitments, ensuring a clean and responsible closure.
