About this listen

 Pierre Dubuc (co-founder and CEO of OpenClassrooms) joins host Monde Nkosi to explore the role of technology and innovation in making quality education more accessible. Pierre explores OpenClassrooms’ innovative model of working hand-in-hand with employers to teach “tomorrow’s skills for tomorrow’s jobs”, helping students to get their first job, get promoted, switch careers, or get a better job. He advocates for the role of AI and online learning in making education more accessible and cost-effective, highlighting that the majority of higher education students in the US are studying online - a huge shift over the last two decades. Pierre also pays tribute to his fellow co-founder, Mathieu Nebra, who he describes as an extremely talented educator who can simultaneously teach, captivate, and inspire.

Pierre is co-founder and CEO of OpenClassrooms, one of the world’s leading providers of online education serving over 200,000 students from over 140 countries. Their mission is to make education accessible and their vision is to become the world’s leading apprenticeship and reskilling provider. Pierre is also a founding member of the Edtech Founders Club. He holds a Master of Science in Telecommunications Engineering from the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon (INSA Lyon). Watch on YouTube
