The gap between learning and the real world

Every institution faces the same challenge — the distance between what is taught and what the world actually demands. SPIRE exists to close it.

01

The access gap

Direct interaction with industry leaders and global practitioners is rarely available to students in government schools, public institutions, and underserved communities.

02

The relevance gap

Most curricula are built around theory and examinations — not the real-world skills and mindsets that employers and industries actually look for.

03

The employability gap

Years of formal education don't always translate into job-readiness — communication, confidence, and practical knowledge are too often missing.

04

The industry-connect gap

Institutions and governments want stronger industry ties but lack the network and platform to build them at scale. SPIRE is that platform.

What SPIRE delivers

Three categories of programming, all powered by SpeakIn's global expert network — co-designed with every institutional partner.

1

Industry Connect Sessions

Live sessions with industry leaders, CEOs, and practitioners on career readiness, entrepreneurship, AI, leadership, and emerging trends — delivered in-person, virtually, or hybrid.

2

Industry Readiness Programmes

Structured, multi-session learning on life skills, communication, workplace readiness, and cultural orientation — co-designed for each institution's learners.

3

Coaching & Mentorship

Delivered via FindACoach — Asia's largest ICF-partnered coaching platform — offering 1:1 and group mentorship across 47+ languages for career planning and growth.

SPIRE FOR CORPORATES - PULSE

PULSE under SPIRE has been built to bring industry learning to corporates. Curated by Asia's largest expert network. SpeakIn Pulse brings your team a live, interactive learning session every month — all year, zero effort on your end.

1

12 Live Sessions a Year

One every month. No gaps, no scrambling to source speakers.

2

Curated Entirely by SpeakIn

Trending, relevant topics selected for your team, not by them.

3

Hand-Picked Experts

Delivered by CXOs, coaches, and thought leaders from Asia's largest expert network.

4

Certified Learning

Pre-session reading, a live interactive session, post-session assessment, and a certificate — every employee, every session.

A flavour of what's covered — the full calendar is curated and confirmed month to month, so every session reflects what's trending, not what was planned a year ago.

AI at Work Handling Conflicts & Difficult Conversations High Impact Business Writing Customer Service & Client Orientation

Deepshikha Kumar Anand, Founder, SpeakIn
