Finding your way in today's labor market means finding a leg up any way you can. Special Skills Academy curates a variety of e-learning courses to help students discover—and later demonstrate—the skills needed to succeed in the workforce. Courses include all required materials. The curriculum at Special Skills Academy is divided into four categories:

• Labor Shortage: These courses target specific areas of the economy in which job seekers can take advantage of a spike in labor demand—including welding, elderly care, or plumbing.
• Management: Serving as additional training for employees with aspirations for upper management, these courses focus on management skills in areas such as human resources, marketing, and sales.
• Computer: With courses in Microsoft Office, Cisco networks, and Unity 3D game development, Special Skills's computer courses cover both basic certification trainings and preparation for higher-level IT exams administered by other certification bodies.
• Quick Courses: Designed to teach niche skills that might be overlooked in the current job market, Quick Courses cover subjects such as computer programming for kids, customer-service skills, and the ins and outs of AirBnB.
