Open School

The AI Skills RDC Open School is a global, free-access learning initiative designed to make high-quality education in emerging skills, technologies and workforce capabilities available to everyone. It supports learners across different stages of life and work, including students, educators, professionals, small business owners, industry leaders and communities.

​

Our mission is to expand access to practical, evidence-informed learning by reducing barriers of cost, complexity and geography. The Open School provides accessible pathways into areas such as artificial intelligence, digital capability, emerging technologies, future skills and workforce transformation, helping people build the knowledge and confidence required to participate in a rapidly changing economy and society.

​

Through a growing collection of short, structured learning experiences, learners can develop capabilities they can apply in education, employment, business, entrepreneurship and organisational transformation. The Open School also provides a platform for translating research into accessible learning, connecting emerging evidence, skills frameworks and new areas of knowledge with practical education.

​

By making high-quality learning widely available, the Open School aims to support lifelong learning, broaden participation in technological and economic change, and ensure that individuals and communities have the opportunity to develop the skills needed to adapt, contribute and thrive.
