Global Vision
The single most important problem confronting virtually every country and government in the world is the growing number of unemployed and under-employed people who do not earn enough to actually survive from one day to the next.
Solving this problem is fairly simple: create more jobs and / or make sure individuals have the skills necessary to satisfy the demands of modern commercial employment. Our focus is to provide a skills transfer environment that will allow everyone to participate in today’s marketplace or in the ideal case, create a person’s own business start up.
Top-down skills training programs using traditional teaching methods have a tough time making a global impact, for a number of reasons.
- Traditional programs are extremely difficult to scale.
- Target populations are very large yet divided by geography, language, culture.
- Appropriate content is also segmented by industry, geography, knowledge level.
- Potential entrepreneurs need motivation and confidence, not just knowledge.
Online and mobile tools and technologies are widely available, creating an unprecedented opportunity to build a bottom-up program for skills transfer and entrepreneur support. The project goal is to develop and deploy a scalable methodology and platform for addressing the challenge.
