We’re on a mission to transform how everyone learns and how to help companies apply that knowledge to yield greater success.
WHY WE BUILT AHURA
01
For businesses
The skillsets required to remain competitive are changing faster this decade. Sadly, current online solutions don’t have the responsiveness to drive necessary engagement and live instructors are too expensive to scale across organizations
02
For employees
AI and advanced innovations are rapidly changing the nature of work across roles and industries. These workers will need to reinvent their skillsets to protect their livelihood
03
For society
Upskilling to maximize potential transcends corporate aspirations. It is key to driving the adoption of new technology, transforming how we solve society’s toughest challenges across energy, health, climate, and more
People are at the center of our mission.
