START WITH PEOPLE
Before we decide what people should learn, we should understand what they need. What do young people want to learn? What does the local economy need? What opportunities are coming? What if we connected the three?
LISTEN BEFORE WE TRAIN
Too often, training starts with a course. We want to start with the community. Listen to what people want to learn. Understand what businesses need. See what municipalities are planning. Identify the projects and investments that are coming.PEOPLE + PLACE + OPPORTUNITY
START WHERE PEOPLE LIVE
A school can become a place to discover. A farm can become a technology lab. Municipal land can become a productive space. A workshop can become a place to make and repair. A local business can become a place to learn through real work.
THE COMMUNITY BECOMES PART OF THE CAMPUS.
BUILD LOCAL SKILLS & OPPORTUNITY INTELLIGENCE
Young people tell us what they want to discover and learn. Municipalities help us understand what is planned. Business and industry help identify what capabilities are needed. Skills-development partners help us understand what learning can be provided. Local Economic Development structures help connect this to the local economy.
WE CONNECT THE DOTS.
THEN BUILD WHAT IS NEEDED
DISCOVER → EXPLORE → LEARN → BUILD → EARN → GROW
Digital Explorers can begin discovering what’s possible. Digital Artisans can develop practical capability. Trainers and mentors can be developed around the technologies and sectors actually needed.
WE'RE STARTING WITH FOOD
Food security gives us a practical place to begin.
LAND → WATER → GROWING → SENSORS & DATA → PROCESSING → PACKAGING → MARKETS → ENTERPRISE
We are exploring how municipal and community spaces could give young people somewhere to learn, grow, experiment, produce and begin building livelihoods.
WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
THAT’S WHY WE’RE INVITING YOU.
AiDE is developing and testing this idea. We need business, municipalities, government departments, SETAs, development agencies, funders, technology partners, skills partners, researchers, mentors and institutions able to unlock opportunity.

Participation Will Shape the Future Economy
The future economy will not only depend on infrastructure and technology.
It will depend on whether communities are able to help shape, build, support, and participate meaningfully in the systems shaping their future.
Smart Infrastructure requires Human Infrastructure.
