100 Million Learners Initiative

In the new global economy, where technology has displaced so many workers, obtaining a future-ready skillset is a necessity for both personal and professional opportunities. Yet too many of the world’s learners lack access to quality education and 21st-century skill sets, a problem that will only be exacerbated in the coming years.

Thunderbird School of Global Management, home of the world’s No. 1 ranked Master’s in Management, and Arizona State University (ASU), ranked No. 1 for innovation in the U.S., launched the 100 Million Learners Initiative to help address this worldwide challenge. It is the boldest and most ambitious global education initiative in higher education history.

The initiative offers three global entrepreneurship and innovation certificates digitally in 40 different languages across the globe and at no cost to the learner. Women and young women will account for 70% of the 100 million learners the program will reach worldwide.
