Key Information

To help bridge the learning gap created by COVID-19, we’ve created a product to remotely deliver key components of our proven in-school model during this time. Our distance learning model has the same three components — skills lessons, practical experience and mentorship, and assessments — delivered to youth directly through radio and basic phone technologies (no smartphone required) like SMS and phone calls.
