Organization Details

TechSkills Academy is an organization dedicated to training young people and professionals in the most in-demand digital and technological skills on the job market. It designs and delivers practical programs focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, aiming to prepare a new generation of changemakers ready to tackle 21st-century challenges, including those related to climate change. Through training, mentorship, workshops, and networking opportunities, TechSkills Academy promotes inclusion, employability, and economic empowerment. It supports its participants in developing concrete, innovative, and responsible solutions for a more resilient and sustainable future.

Impact Story

TechSkills Academy was born out of an urgent need: in a world undergoing rapid digital and climate transitions, young people—especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds—are often excluded from opportunities linked to emerging technologies and future-ready skills. Faced with high unemployment rates, persistent digital inequality, and escalating climate challenges, we chose to act. Our mission is to democratize access to digital skills, innovation, and sustainable entrepreneurship, equipping a new generation to create concrete solutions for the social, economic, and environmental challenges in their communities. By training youth in coding, artificial intelligence, green technologies, and sustainable development principles, we promote inclusion, empowerment, and resilience.

Since our inception, we have trained over [insert number] youth and professionals, the majority of whom are women and young people from rural or marginalized areas. Many have gone on to launch impact-driven startups, join innovative companies, or implement green economy projects in their communities. TechSkills Academy’s impact is measured not just by the number of beneficiaries trained, but by the real transformation of lives: young people with no prospects becoming entrepreneurs, women with no prior tech access becoming developers or trainers, and vulnerable communities gaining localized solutions to climate change. We firmly believe that technology, when combined with human-centered education, is a powerful tool to build a fairer, more sustainable, and inclusive future.
