Academany (aka The Academy of Almost Anything) grew from the Fab Academy, which was developed to provide hands-on technical training in fab labs. Rather than the traditional educational model of bringing students to a central site, or the online model of students in front of individual screens, it is based on a distributed model: students gather in local learning workgroups in fab labs, with peers, mentors, and machines, and these are in turn connected in a global network with leading experts.
The Academany format helps to identify and train student beyond the constraints of conventional schools, creating a unique global talent pipeline. This portal supports the creation of career pathways for them. Academany freely shares all of its digital content, and charges for the resources required to support hands-on interactive participation. Likewise, Academany student portfolios are freely available; hiring through this portal charges for the support to identify and match active student candidates.
The jobs portal is currently in a trial phase; details will be posted here once it becomes operational. For more information contact info@academany.org.
