Universal Skills Employment (USE)
A Global Employment System that Empowers the Individual
Six local elements reinforced by three global pillars—toward 500 million jobs
Universal Skills Employment (USE)
The Universal Skills Employment (USE) system is designed to create 500 million jobs in the AI century. It connects grassroots action in local communities to a Global Employment Grid, ensuring that every young person has access to skills, funding, and opportunities.
How It Works: The Six Elements
USE empowers each cohort of youth by surrounding them with six interconnected supports.
🏘️ Community (GQ Assessments)
Talent begins with recognition. Through Genius Quotient™ (GQ), young people are assessed not by degrees, but by what they can actually do.
👨🏫 Coaches (Expertise Transfer)
Experienced mentors provide knowledge transfer, helping individuals grow from raw talent to job-ready professionals.
📚 Curriculum (Personalized Learning)
Training is adapted to each person's skill-shape profile, aligning with real industry demand.
🏛️ Campus (World-Class Spaces)
Physical and digital campuses provide collaborative, inspiring environments to learn, build, and connect.
💼 Careers (Real Jobs)
Pathways lead directly to employers and entrepreneurial ventures. This is where skill turns into sustainable work.
💰 Capital (Grants & Workforce Bonds)
Costs of devices, data, and training are covered through innovative finance, including workforce bonds, ensuring no one is excluded for lack of resources.
The Global Pillars Behind USE
The six local elements are reinforced by three global standards, as laid out in the State of Jobs Whitepaper.

Creates national skill registries, turning hidden human capacity into a sovereign, measurable asset.

Why It Matters
The current education-to-job pipeline is broken. Degrees cost too much, curricula lag behind industry demand, and too many youth are excluded. USE fixes this by connecting people directly to skills, capital, and opportunity — and scaling those connections across borders.
