Why We Exist

Breaking down the barriers to education

Too many people are excluded from the skills economy because of cost, distance, or time. South Africa also faces high youth unemployment, making the need for recognised skills more urgent than ever. LearnSquad exists to close these gaps with affordable, flexible, and credible programmes designed to fit into everyday realities.
The Challenge

Exclusion from opportunity

Traditional education models often demand high tuition, physical attendance, and reliable infrastructure that many cannot access. These barriers leave millions of South Africans unable to gain the qualifications they need to enter or advance in the workforce. The result is persistent exclusion from the skills economy and limited pathways into employment. Addressing these challenges requires new ways of delivering education that are flexible, accessible, and nationally recognised, ensuring that more people can participate meaningfully in the economy.

Our Approach

Accessible and credible learning

We partner with accredited providers and institutions to deliver programmes that meet both South African and international standards. Courses are designed to be flexible, online-first, and supported by real people during office hours. This ensures learners can access content in their own time, while still having help when needed. Our approach reduces dropout rates and makes accredited education achievable for more learners. By combining credibility with accessibility, we turn barriers into stepping-stones, connecting people to qualifications that open real opportunities.

Partnerships

Collaboration that extends reach

Breaking down barriers is not something one organisation can achieve alone. We work with providers, businesses, and communities to make learning available wherever it is needed most. Providers ensure quality and accreditation, businesses help extend reach and create opportunities, and communities encourage learner participation. These partnerships build a system that is scalable and inclusive, ensuring more learners gain recognised qualifications that support employability, entrepreneurship, and resilience. Collaboration ensures education is not just delivered, but delivered effectively.

The Outcome

Pathways into opportunity

By closing gaps in access, we create pathways into the skills economy that are practical and sustainable. Learners gain qualifications that improve employability, businesses benefit from stronger workforces and compliance value, and communities grow more resilient as skills circulate locally. Outcomes prove that education is not an abstract promise but a practical tool for transformation. By breaking down barriers, we ensure that more people can step into opportunities that support growth, stability, and long-term participation in the economy.
