For the longest time, school has been organized around subjects instead of skills. We go to math class to learn to pass a test about binomials. But, in reality, most of us won’t use binomials later in life. What we actually learn in math class is problem-solving—a skill that is very important later in life.
At Akimbo, we believe education is different than learning. Education is mandatory. Learning is something you choose to do.
The Emerging Leaders Program is for college students who are looking to learn real skills. The ones that will set them apart when they apply for jobs and lead in the future of work.
This program is fast-paced. It’s only five days. We’ll learn together and ship projects quickly and see things differently by the end. There’s no rubric for how to do the projects, because at Akimbo, we know that there’s not one right way.
