We are always learning and adapting in life, the systems that we use should be as dynamically responsive as we are so that we have better, faster and more relevant insights to guide us at the precise moments we need to reach our goals.
says Alexis Snelling, co-founder WeTransact | LiveStack about the importance of communities solving the world's greatest problems together.
"Education is a process which includes tasks/doing, diligence questions, resources, collaboration and data insights to iterate. By distilling education (life long learning/critical thinking) down to these 5 main areas, we can now bridge the translation gap between industries and more personalized education paths by identifying, verifying, and exercising skill sets vs. degrees, certifications etc."
says David Snelling, co-founder of WeTransact | Live Stack about the future of education being a real time skills based credits earned over your entire life.
"WeTransact|Live Stack will enable the world to become your classroom and provide everyone with their own compass to help them get to where they want to go in life next."
