You know AI is changing everything. You see the job posts requiring AI skills. You feel the ground shifting beneath your career. But where do you even start? That's why I built SkillRise Education. By 2030, 950 million people will use AI tools globally.* 78% of ICT roles now require AI technical skills.** The gap between where people are and where they need to be is growing fast—and most people are frozen, unsure how to catch up. SkillRise Education closes that gap—for individuals and organizations. For Individuals: 6-week cohorts where you build real AI projects (chatbots, automation tools, data analysis), get career support, and connect with employers. 90% completion rate vs. <10% industry average. Portfolio projects, not certificates. For Organizations: Turn-key AI literacy programs. We bring proven curriculum, expert facilitation, and career placement support to your team, students, or community. You provide access; we handle everything—including recruitment. Proven model: Partnered with Ludwitt Academy on government-approved programs in Trinidad & Tobago (40+ trained, 90%+ completion), now scaling across the Caribbean and Brazil. Working with engineers and educators who've built curricula that deliver career transformations. More partnerships coming soon. My background: I've been there—frozen by a transformation moment. I graduated into the 2011 economy, which taught me fast: the most important investment you can make is in your own skills. That lesson took me across continents. I launched companies in Tokyo, Morocco, and beyond—including a $10M real estate exit. I taught, built curricula, led workshops on everything from language learning to personal development. The through-line? When people gain new skills, they don't just change jobs—they change their lives. I don't want my friends, family, and community left behind. That extends to your community too. Women-led, serving everyone. Looking for advisors, partners, investors, and people who get it. hello@skillriseeducation.com www.skillriseeducation.com *AltIndex, 2025 **AI Workforce Consortium, 2025
