Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
