The sudden shift to online education and work since the 2020 pandemic has disrupted learning and skill development for young people worldwide. This disruption disproportionately impacted students, young entrepreneurs, and new entrants into the workforce. As the demand for soft skills skyrockets in a world of increased employee mobility, the gap in these crucial abilities has become increasingly evident.

Skills like creativity, leadership, communication, teamwork, and resilience are no longer just desirable but critical for mental well-being, employability, entrepreneurial ventures, and community development.

One Oat Foundation recognizes this urgent need and aims to address it head-on. We are dedicated to understanding the impact of emerging challenges on soft skill development and innovation. We believe in empowering young people from all backgrounds with high-quality, engaging, and accessible training content, coupled with vital mental health support, all delivered free of charge.

Through our initiatives, we strive to bridge the soft skills gap and equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Vision
With the slogan "Innovating for the Future Leaders," empowering the youth with cutting-edge skills and knowledge, our foundation strives to foster innovation and unleash the potential of future generations, creating a world where every individual thrives.

Mission
Our mission is to provide a skill development platform, offering a state-of-the-art user interface, comprehensive resources, expert guidance, and a supportive community, to equip youth with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-evolving world for free.

Our platform is designed to help and empower the young generation, whether they are students preparing for the future, young professionals seeking advancement, or aspiring entrepreneurs looking to make a difference.

Additionally, our generative AI powers our platform, enabling us to improve our services and customize the learning process. Though platform users will not be able to access our generative AI directly, they will have access to the knowledgebase that our passionate team of educators, psychologists, and technologists has built, which is devoted to using generative AI to support youth development and well-being.

We think that young people can benefit from our platform by:

• Tackle future issues: Our courses and resources are designed to help young people develop the skills they need to solve the challenges of the future, such as climate change, economic inequality, and social injustice.
• Become future leaders: Our platform provides young people with the skills and support they need to be successful leaders in their communities and in the world.
• Provide better solutions for communities: Our platform is designed to help young people develop the skills and empathy they need to create a better world for all.

We are committed to making our platform the best possible resource for young people. We are constantly adding new courses and resources, and we are always working to improve the learning experience.

If you are a young person, we encourage you to check out our platform and see how it can help you achieve your goals.

Join us in creating a world where all young people have the skills and support they need to thrive.

Together, we can build a brighter future for our communities by investing in the young generation.
