Our take
Avado offers practical programs for businesses to equip themselves with requisite digital knowledge, competency and behaviour in an attempt to fill the growing digital skills gap.
Since its conception in 2016, Avado has positioned itself as a key player in the digital learning space, delivering programs to thousands of businesses worldwide, including CNN, The Walt Disney Company, American Express and GSK. Its services have since become an industry standard given the quality, with the Department of Education employing Avado to run critical skills bootcamps.
With time, Avado has broadened its mission, recently partnering with BT Group to create FastFuture programmes to support thousands of adults from under-represented backgrounds gain employment skills. After recently anointing a new CEO, it will be interesting to see how else Avado will transform the industry moving forward.
