Skillify is an education-focused brand that aims to redefine success for students by encouraging them to step out of the academic bubble and experience the real world. Founded in 2012 at the University of Southern California, Skillify is supported by a team of education enthusiasts, USC faculty, and social entrepreneurs. Their story began with the realization that many students lack access to resources such as prestigious summer camps, mentors, and internships.

Skillify believes that success is not solely defined by grades and test scores, but by skills and real-world experiences. They offer a six-month program that empowers students from 180 high schools and colleges in California to become confident and independent young professionals. With the support of USC faculty and trusted advisors, Skillify has grown from a six-hour conference to a comprehensive program.

Their mission is to empower students to step out of their comfort zones, know their value, and define success for themselves
