Launcpad-for-HER
Digital technology is creating new opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, remote work, and participation in the global gig economy. Yet many women remain excluded from these opportunities because they lack practical digital skills, professional portfolios, access to relevant networks, and clear pathways into the marketplace.
Terraskills Learning Systems Ltd. has an opportunity to address this gap through Launchpad-For-Her, an independent, women-focused digital skills and career development programme designed to equip women with practical skills and prepare them to pursue income-generating opportunities in the digital economy.
Our initial strategy will leverage the GATEWAY programme implemented by Co-creation HUB (CcHUB) and sponsored by MasterCard Foundation. Successful graduates will be guided to apply for the GATEWAY Growth Pathway Skills, which may provide an additional route towards securing remote gigs.
However, Launchpad-For-Her will remain an independent Terraskills initiative, with its own identity, curriculum, delivery model, partnerships, and long-term growth strategy.
Proposed Programme Structure
The programme will operate through a fully virtual, eight-week training model, subject to validation of demand, curriculum, and delivery capacity.
Core digital skills pathways
- Digital Marketing
- Graphic Design
- UI/UX Design
The initial programme will focus on these three areas, with participants receiving foundational instruction and developing deeper practical competence in a selected specialisation. Additional pathways may be introduced as market demand and partnerships evolve.
Learning journey
