About SkillCo

Helping Students Connect Classrooms to Careers

Our Mission

Reimagining Education Around Skills That Matter.

At Skillco, we’re committed to reshaping how students learn and how institutions teach—by putting verified skills at the center of it all.

We build tools that help educators align their programs with the real demands of today’s workforce, and give students a clear view of how their learning translates into opportunity. Our mission is to make education more relevant, practical, and outcome-driven.

In a world where traditional credentials are no longer enough, we believe that demonstrated skills and hands-on experience are the true currency of success.

Our Mission

We started SkillCo with one big goal:

To make education more meaningful by showing students the real-world value of what they’re learning.

Too often, students move through school without seeing how their classes tie into their future. We believe that needs to change. SkillCo was built to bridge the gap between high school coursework and career readiness — making it easier for students to plan their paths and own their progress.

Skillco & E2i

At Skillco, students aren’t just users—they’re co-creators.

Through our innovative collaboration with Utah Valley University’s Excellence and Innovation Initiative (e2i), we’re redefining how education and industry work together. UVU students work shoulder-to-shoulder with our teams in product development, design, engineering, and marketing. The result? A dynamic learning environment where students gain real-world experience while directly contributing to a platform that’s reshaping education nationwide.
