Expansion Manager for Remote Skills AcadeAbout RSA:
Remote Skills Academy is an impact-focused education program for those who want to learn to work online, build successful careers and connect with others on the same journey. The Academy was originally created for Indonesians in 2020, but we quickly realized that other fellow countries in the Southeast Asian region and beyond could benefit from similar programs, too. And less than a year later, we ran our first program in Thailand.
Now, two years down the road, we’ve impacted the lives of hundreds of students, and we see heart-warming stories coming in every week.

• The e-learning market in the Asia Pacific region including countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the South-Asia regions including countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Srilanka are virtually untapped markets with the least competition in the skill-academy market.
