Skillshare

Location: National

Skillshare is a community marketplace to learn anything from anyone. We believe that everyone has valuable skills and knowledge to teach and the curiosity to keep learning new things. This means our neighborhoods, communities and cities are really the world's greatest universities. All of the classes happen in the real world (that means offline, despite what we nerds may consider to be “real”).

About Skillshare:
  • Why We're Building Skillshare

    1.  Learning shouldn't stop when you graduate from school, it should be a lifelong process
    2.  New skills are being introduced everyday
    3.  Learning should be fun and interesting
    4.  Everyone has something valuable to share and teach
     
  • The pinnacle of education should revolve around learning and gaining knowledge, and not going to college. Our mission is to flip the traditional notion of education on its head and democratize learning. We’re building Skillshare because we believe the world needs a learning revolution.
