According to a 2018 survey by the American Gallup Institute, only 1 in 10 graduate students said their education prepared them for practical work.
During the same year, Mila Smart Semeshkina's Lectera educational platform was launched, to offering a fast and flexible alternative, because to traditional education, which does not keep up with modern realities and market changes. Inin her interview for 150secMila spoke about how Lectera manages to overtake universities and make education fast and affordable.
Lectera currently has 3 million students from Europe, Latin America, India, Pakistan, and Africa. These regions have limited access to education and fierce competition in the job market due to a lack of qualified knowledge. Lectera addresses these issues with its section of free courses for everyone, multilingual content that is translated into 15 languages simultaneously, and partnerships with large companies, such as the women's organization WE Council.
According to Mila Smart Semeshkina, the idea to create Lectera came to her while studying at the university. She realized from her own experience that traditional educational institutions teach knowledge that becomes obsolete faster than students graduate and have time to apply it in practice. This is how Mila Semeshkina developed the Fast Education methodology, allowing you to gain this knowledge as quickly as possible without interrupting your main activity. By doing so, she has managed to bridge the gap between the current job market and traditional education.
All Lectera courses are meticulously updated to reflect current trends and new technologies. For instance, artificial intelligence courses have already been updated four times this year. This allows Lectera to maintain its position as a leader in the field of EdTech, instilling confidence in the audience about the platform's ability to provide not just affordable but also relevant training.
