Education should not only provide certificates; it should help people do, create, earn, employ, innovate and solve real-world problems. ADA's approach has five steps.
- LearnAcquire relevant knowledge.
- PractiseApply knowledge through practical work.
- CreateBuild projects, products and solutions.
- EarnUse skills for employment, freelancing or entrepreneurship.
- ImpactUse knowledge and skills to contribute to communities and society.
The long-term picture: Learn, Practise, Innovate, Start Businesses, Find Opportunities, Create Jobs, Transform Communities.
