Sprout Academy is a 5-week online bootcamp in South East Asia that allows the senior high school students to cultivate 21st-century skills essential for transitioning into the workforce.
Unemployment and underemployment are the result of the combined effects of i) mismatch between the skill level of job seekers and the skills demanded by enterprises, ii) the supply of workers seeking jobs exceeding the demand of enterprises/vacancies available, and iii) incomplete information on available jobs. All of these induce a process of demotivation, and as a result, individuals reduce their job search activity thus decreasing the probability of getting jobs.
A group of youth leaders saw the need for students to be ready for the ever-changing workforce by empowering them with 21st century skills. With this mission. the Sprout Academy team won a seed funding through the Young South East Asia Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) and Arizona State University (ASU) to pilot their project across the ASEAN region and hold the first online workshop for Senior High School students.
