It’s common knowledge that the education system within High schools and Universities are falling behind as industries & the business world rapidly develops.
Obviously for specific career paths like medical, law or architecture then it’s a given that a university path is still required, but will a further education in its current state aid your career progression in other sectors or even if you are starting a business?
The answer is, probably not. But why is this?
With the rise of technology, connectivity, outsourcing and the masses of available information online, the aging education system is struggling to keep up. Add to this the huge costs that are involved with a university degree and the fact that it will be a long time before most people are in a position to pay this off.
This is where MissionU are innovating…
Mission U are a training academy with a difference. They concentrate on teaching real world experience on skills, tech and sciences of the future and not to mention, you don’t pay a penny until you get a job!.
What do MissionU Say?
While the cost of tuition continues to skyrocket, the value of a degree is plummeting. Only 18% of students who start a degree graduate in 4 years, and less than half of those strongly agree that it was worth the cost. It’s time higher education evolved.
Higher education should give more than it takes
A college should invest in its students, not vice versa. That’s why we make our program entirely tuition-free, and instead recoup our investment only once you land a job.
The most valuable learning comes from doing
Learning for the sake of learning is wonderful, but the Internet now makes most information accessible. Instead, MissionU focuses on preparing you for the real world.
We need to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow
History shows us that the top in-demand jobs of 2030 don’t yet exist. So, it’s our responsibility to apply the learning science we have today to the opportunities that tomorrow will bring.
Future potential matters more than past test scores
When you apply to MissionU, we’re interested in how you think and what you’re capable of, not what score you got on a standardized test.
A college’s commitment shouldn’t end at graduation
We reserve six weeks of our year-long program to support you through the interview process via training, guidance, and salary negotiation.
