Through its innovative 10-week sprints, d’Skills equips motivated young adults—especially those from Gen Z, the "native digitals"—with the critical digital skills required to excel in the modern workforce. This white paper explores d’Skills’ mission, its pedagogical approach, and its potential impact on reshaping education to empower the next generation for success in the AI-driven future.
