At Lana, we know that the future of education requires investment into skill-building, technology, and students.
Looking to the future of education, one thing is clear: a new era focused on skill-building and technology is here. At Lana, we are excited to be part of this transformation. Our mission has always been to equip students with the tools they need to succeed. Now, as we integrate technology-driven learning and emphasize STEM and digital skills, our programs are poised to help students meet the evolving demands of the 21st-century workforce.
Unit 871 in Hanoi, Vietnam
A key example of our commitment to this future is found in Unit 871, our program in Vietnam. Here, we stood up a state-of-the-art language lab, which we actively integrate into daily teaching. This lab has become a hub for immersive language learning, complete with an instructor dedicated to maximizing its potential. From interactive exercises to digital communication practice, the lab empowers our students with both language proficiency and technological confidence, critical for modern learning environments.
The push for skills-based education reflects a growing consensus that traditional curricula must evolve to match the rapid pace of technological change. According to the World Economic Forum, over 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025 to keep up with technological advancements. From coding to data literacy and analytical thinking, skills in STEM are no longer optional—they are crucial. Furthermore, the rise in STEM job openings, with projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimating an 8% increase by 2029, highlights the necessity for tech-focused learning that equips students with employable skills right out of secondary school.
Building Skills and Integrating Technology
Lana’s programs are evolving to meet these demands. We’re working on several initiatives that blend traditional subject mastery with digital and technological literacy. For instance, the SAT’s recent transition to a digital format underscores the shift toward tech integration in standardized testing. Preparing students for this new format means going beyond content. It’s about ensuring they are comfortable and confident in a digital testing environment. Our focus on digital test preparation aligns with our broader commitment to meet students where they are. We incorporate technology skill-building into every step of their educational journey.
This tech-integrated approach goes hand-in-hand with our mission to expand learning access across all communities. As we work to develop new partnerships, we see new opportunities to bring skills-based, technology-enhanced education to a broader audience. Whether through collaborations that boost our capacity for digital skill training or projects that expand our reach in underserved areas, these partnerships are pivotal. A recent OECD report highlights the need for such educational alignment, showing that schools leveraging digital learning tools see increased student engagement and, ultimately, a greater preparedness for modern careers.
Looking Ahead
In the future, we envision Lana Learn as a leader in skills-based learning. It’s critical that students across the globe have the competencies to navigate the challenges of an increasingly digital world. By focusing on digital skills, expanding our reach through strategic partnerships, and developing programs that directly address emerging demands, we aim to positively impact the lives of students and the communities we serve.
This is the mission of Lana Learn: We empower individuals and organizations through education and training. And the future of education and training is skills-based, tech-integrated, and student-centered.
