Empowering the Future of Work: Bridging the Future-Skills Gap with SkillStack

At SkillStack, we're more than just an educational platform. We're a mission-driven initiative, dedicated to reshaping the landscape of learning and employment for the modern workforce.

Our Vision
To create a world where every individual can access tailored, relevant education that enables them to thrive in their careers and evolve with the changing demands of the global job market.
Our Mission
We want to revolutionise and re-imagine education from the ground up, by providing tailored, relevant, and accessible bite-sized learning modules we refer to as SkillSnacks providing on the go learning experiences for the evolving global job market.

At SkillStack, our mission drives us to prioritize courses that reflect future skills, ensuring they remain globally informed yet locally relevant. By aligning with sector-specific needs, we guarantee relevance or make room for fresher content, continuously enhancing the learning journey.

Our Purpose
To bridge the education and skills gap, ensuring no one is left behind in the future of work, equal access and opportunities to relevant, in-demand future skills.

SkillStack is deeply committed to social equity in education. For every SkillSnack completed, we donate one to underserved communities, ensuring that quality learning isn't a privilege but a universal right. Through innovation and philanthropy, we aim to create an equitable and informed world.

"We have to go from what is essentially an industrial model of education, a manufacturing model, which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people. We have to move to a model that is based more on principles of agriculture. We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it's an organic process."

Sir Ken Robinson, Speaker and author on the subject of education and creativity

Addressing the Education Gap:
Over 50% of jobs will require significant re-skilling by 2025, and 44% of workers' core skills are expected to change in the next five years...

SkillStack Insight:

Some key considerations:

Outdated Curriculum and Learning Content Aggravates the Skills Gap.
Employee Skills Mismatch is Prevalent.
Huge Economic Impact predicted due to Skills Gap.
Return on Investment for Organisations
For every dollar invested in training, companies can gain an average ROI of $4.53 return, generating an ROI of 353%

The evidence is there, but proving the value of training to internal stakeholders is still a major challenge for learning and development teams

Companies often shy away from investing in training due to ROI concerns and rapid tech changes. However, SkillStack contends that meaningful ROI stems from training in globally informed, locally contextualised skills. Using outdated content or training merely for compliance misses the mark. The focus needs to shift to prepare the workforce for a rapid evolving landscape. The widening skills gap underscores the growing responsibility of organisations, not just in up-skilling and re-skilling, but in holistic education that are practical and meaningful.

Navigating the Future Skills Challenge: The Imperative for Change
The accelerating pace of technological growth, as highlighted by Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near", emphasises that traditional learning methods are ill-equipped for today's rapid change. Pair that with IBM's note on the vast data we generate daily, and it's clear: not only is the volume of information overwhelming, but much of it quickly becomes outdated.

We believe that simply accessing vast amounts of content isn't enough; it's crucial to ensure this content is current, relevant, and aligned with future skills needs. Outdated content isn't just ineffective; it's part of the problem.
