Fo Aust alia, the eleva ce of this expe ie ce lies ot o ly i the scale achieved, but i the way tech ology was applied to difficult st uctu al p oblems.

Mishuk’s oppo tu ity is to tu a ambitious visio i to a evide ce-based eco omic co t ibutio .

By p ovidi g t ai i g without cha ge, App AI is attempti g to educe the fi a cial ba ie to pa ticipatio a d b oade access to eme gi g digital skills.
To st e gthe the c edibility of this i itiative, the compa y should publish i depe de tly ve ifiable i fo matio showi g the umbe of pa ticipa ts t ai ed, cou se du atio , cu iculum, completio ates a d measu able outcomes.
