Our approach:

Cultivating adaptable and innovative talent

It used to be, ‘I’m not ready.’ — but that's not an option anymore. We're done waiting for knowledge from yesterday.

We have to learn, unlearn, and relearn. Fast.

The InceptionU methodology prepares you to make a life and a living where you can’t be automated, mechanized, outsourced, or made obsolete. Our mission is for you to be continuously valuable. Celebrating humanity and creativity.

Working with Purpose

Knowing what matters and the path to get there

The first thing you learn at InceptionU is to determine how success looks, feels, and works. We practice intention, and focus on the creation of value.

Working with Projects

Connecting theory and practice to real work

Projects take learning out of the clouds and into your hands, integrating it with the work that needs to get done. It gives you a place to apply your developing skills, and build something meaningful.

Balanced Skillset

InceptionU’s curriculum is designed to build responsive mindsets and comprehensive skillsets that will prepare learners for a genuine career, not just a single job. By emphasizing enduring metaskills–like critical and systems thinking–as much as technical skills, learners will enter the workforce with adaptability and resilience with the chance to consistently realize and expand their potential.
