Our Mission

Self Taught Academy was founded to equip young adults in developing countries with the relevant skills they need and to connect them with the right opportunities, so they can reach economic, personal, and social success.

Our Vision

We strive to be the leading digital school where learners build self-taught skills that match today's job market. As an EdTech platform, Self Taught Academy concentrates on delivering high-quality educational content and forward-thinking programs that create lasting positive change for learners and society alike.

Across our programs, we provide continuous support to learners and partner institutions so both get the most from the experience. For learners, that means academic guidance and information, social and emotional development, social and capital building, and career preparation. As a regional thought partner to local institutions, we also champion education equality and wider career opportunities for young adults in developing countries.

Why Self Taught Academy Matters

The education sector is in urgent need of improvement. Many graduates from tertiary institutions stay unemployed for long stretches, unsure of their next step or stuck in jobs they don't care about — a situation that can set off a chain of negative outcomes. Young adults without post-primary or secondary credentials face a higher risk of unemployment and much lower lifetime earnings. Given the inequities created by this widening skills gap, especially for learners in developing countries, these programs are essential.
