Our Story
Embark on a Journey with Us: Uncover the Tale of SkillVation Africa – A Passion-Driven Odyssey Rooted in Dedication to Learning, Empowerment, and the Remarkable Stories of Our Community
Our Background
Welcome to Skillvation Africa, where our passion for learning meets the challenge of overcoming educational barriers. Our journey began when we explored many online courses to learn and upskill professionally, only to face the daunting cost of courses priced in foreign currencies that lacked a focus on African needs. This is too familiar in Africa, where hefty exchange rates turn seemingly affordable courses into significant investments. Worse still with material that often lacks relevance to the African context.Â
Â
Our mission is to empower Africa through African-focused vocational & non-vocational skills training tailored in an affordable, simple, and clear style.Â
Â
We also have a unique space on Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI stands at the forefront of global economic change, offering immense potential but also posing a risk of job displacement if not adequately understood. We aim to prepare and propel Africa forward in this era, transforming potential job losses into opportunities for growth and innovation across all fields of expertise, life skills, wellness, artisanal, agro-production enhancement, and climate change management.
Â
Skillvation Africa is more than just a learning platform; it’s a community where African talent is nurtured and celebrated. We are dedicated to recruiting expert instructors from Africa and beyond, committed to imparting their knowledge to fellow Africans, thereby enhancing our shared expertise. We highly encourage women and youth to participate in both tutoring and learning. Join us in creating a hub that not only educates but also drives the economic advancement of each member of our community.
