As we surpass the 5 million learner milestone just over a year after crossing the 3 million mark, we are hopeful to increase our impact in bridging the global skills gap. Additionally, 35 per cent of our learners per month are repeat learners or have come through referrals, standing as a testament that learners do see value in online upskilling.
