Our Story

Obsessed with learner success.

At Skills Café, learner success is our obsession. We believe powerful learning happens when it’s contextual, engaging, and evidence-based.

What we believe

We believe powerful learning happens when it’s contextual — focused on real-world challenges learners face at work. When it’s engaging — enjoyable and keeps learners motivated. And when it’s evidence-based — rooted in proven learning principles for maximum impact.

Our secret sauce? A passionate team of instructional designers, psychologists, graphic artists, game designers, and facilitators — all working together to create unforgettable learning experiences that drive results.

What we believe in

Our learning design principles

The learner is at the center of our design strategy. We’ve brought together evidence-informed practices and our expertise to define the principles that guide every program.

01

Focus

Focus on measurable performance outcomes linked to the learner’s job and work context.

02

Engage

Learner motivation is critical for the success of a program. We use games and gamification to make learning engaging and experiential.

03

Sustain

Transfer of learning to the job requires continuous and sustained intervention. We use evidence-backed practices like spaced learning and practice retrieval to achieve this.

04

Measure

We relentlessly evaluate the transfer of learning throughout a program — through pre and post assessment, on-job performance reviews, and surveys.
