Initially set up to upskill and cross-train AirAsia Allstars through a series of tech workshops in areas such as artificial intelligence , machine learning , software engineering, cybersecurity, big data and infrastructure among others, Redbeat Academy has now opened its doors to the public. This move comes as part of the academy’s objective and direction to build a future-ready next generation by providing a one-stop service in tech, leadership and innovation that will be a vital catalyst for the digital economy in Malaysia and the wider Asean region.

Redbeat Academy will focus on serving five segments, which are AirAsia Allstars, Corporate and SMEs, government agencies, universities and public individuals with at least 100,000 talents to be tapped on a yearly basis to provide solutions in three main areas, namely: skills development programme, Betabuild Labs, a programme offered by AirAsia supported Google to help enterprises incubate new digital businesses with employees and career coaching and hiring service.

In addition, Redbeat Academy signed a partnership with Malaysian Industry-Government Group of High Technology to reskill a pool of talent in Software Engineering and High Technology projects and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Universiti Malaya and Asia School of Business in collaboration with MIT Sloan Management, in awarding a micro-credential to Redbeat Academy courses and acknowledging it as part of the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning.
