Company Overview
The world is changing faster than ever. The fourth industrial revolution has seen an exponential growth in data utilisation. Keeping pace in an ever-changing landscape is quickly becoming the defining characteristic of both successful companies and individuals. It is with this in mind that Afterskills was founded in 2017 to fill the growing demand from both employers and individuals to upskill their technical, critical, and creative thinking skillsets. Founded by a University of Cambridge PhD, ex-BCGer and ex-Amazonian with a passion for sharing knowledge, we take learning seriously – both internally and externally – as knowledge is one of the most valuable assets any business or person can possess.
Afterskills is transforming the professional development landscape by combining in-demand skills training and enablement alongside services such as skills gap analysis, learning outcome assessments and content development. We currently work with a myriad of clients across a number of sectors, from large corporates to private equity portfolio companies to world class business schools. The sheer breadth of customers Afterskills works with – combined with triple digit growth over the past three years – highlights the need for these services and products in the market.
Afterskills' growth has continued to accelerate throughout COVID due to most companies’ need to rapidly change their ways-of-working. This is in direct response to the shifting workplace environment brought on by the pandemic where the need for a data literate workforce is quickly becoming a key competitive advantage.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the premier partner for businesses and individuals looking to exploit the large asymmetry in supply and demand for data literate individuals with business acumen. We understand the most important asset any business has is its people, and companies that invest in their people will always have an advantage over their competitors. By solidifying our position in this space, we help companies position learning and development initiatives as a core competitive advantage. Additionally, we support individuals looking to bolster their professional toolkit by adding the most in-demand skillsets in the job market.
Always wanting to practice what we preach, our business is continually evolving to learn, develop and grow our own skillsets. Rather than simply teaching technical skills, we want to learn what challenges companies are facing in the data and analytics space. By staying informed about the latest developments across various industries, we strive to attain invaluable knowledge and use cases that we then parlay into best-in-class upskilling and reskilling courses. In doing so, we aspire to help companies achieve their business objectives through in-person and virtual classroom programs and / or via our self-paced, interactive learning platform.
