At SkillT-US, we link passionate mentors, typically Non-resident Bangladeshis, with eager learners in Bangladesh, fostering growth through simple, modern connections.
Our Mission
Why the need
Many young people in Bangladesh live far from major cities, which limits their access to quality education. Yet they are bright, ambitious, and eager to learn new skills or strengthen the ones they already have. At the same time, there are many experienced Non‑Resident Bangladeshis who have both the time and the desire to give back to the country where they were born.
This platform creates a simple, effective way to connect these two groups
Change a young person’s future by spending just 30 minutes each week
Mentors creates an online profile sharing area they want to teach in and their preferred availability
How It Works
Mentees create online profile informing what skill area they want to improve on and their preferred time/day for sessions
SkillT-US makes the best match and then connects the mentor and mentee
Mentor and mentee connects with each other initially via WhatsApp and then typically through Zoom, GoogleMeet
Sessions are once for 30-60 minutes a week and lasts from 4 to 12 weeks
