Saylor Academy is a non-profit initiative that believes that education should be accessible to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. As part of our mission, we partner with organizations worldwide to help educate communities so they can improve their lives. Saylor partners with universities as well as nonprofits, NGOs and government entities, to promote skill development worldwide.
The Saylor Academy and SEAMEO Innotech Partnership
In support of this mission, SEAMEO Innotech and Saylor Academy will leverage Saylor Academy’s courses to help students build critical 21st century skills. These courses earn free certificates that students can display on LinkedIN, post on Facebook or Twitter or link to in a website or personal portfolio.
SEAMEO Innotech and Saylor Academy both recognize that people face complex barriers to education and skills, not least of which are time and financial resources. This partnership allows students to develop key skills on-demand, and will help them become even more competitive once they enter the marketplace.
”Saylor Academy is thrilled to work with SEAMEO Innotech and to support its Youth Leadership Initiative, as well as other educational endeavors” stated Dr. Sheila Jagannathan, Deputy Executive Director, Global Strategy, of Saylor Academy. “SEAMEO’s focus on innovative edtech solutions to scale education is a great match for Saylor Academy’s innovative self paced course model.”
”We are pleased to partner with Saylor Academy. This collaboration enhances our work using digital resources to promote more accessible and efficient upskilling.”
Dr. Juan Robertino “Robbie” Macalde, Manager, Learning Development and Management Office, SEAMEO Innotech.
