The upskilling dilemma facing governments

CHALLENGES IN TRADITIONAL LEARNING MODEL

Offline learning

  • VERY EXPENSIVE
    On average 10,000-20,000 USD per student for 9-12 week coding bootcamps
  • LONG AND INFLEXIBLE
    Average immersive in-person coding bootcamps demand a minimum of 12 weeks of daily physical presence from learners in specific locations
  • NOT SCALABLE
    Capable of running < 200 student cohorts at a time, physically limited and not able to reach remote locations

Online learning

  • LOW COMPLETION RATES
    Average graduation rate of MOOCs is typically 9-10% due to low engagement of programs
  • NOT ALWAYS PRACTICAL
    Most online training involves watching passive videos and learning theory rather than including real-world practice

What it takes to succeed

1)The right learning product
2)The right delivery mechanism
