Thousands of graduates enter the job market every year without real work experience. Shape was founded in Tunisia to close that gap with project-based learning, industry mentorship and skills employers can verify.
Our mission in three pillars.
🛠️
Build real skills
Programs designed with employers, around the roles they are hiring for.
✅
Verify, don't claim
Skills proven through real, reviewed projects, not exams.
🚪
Open the pathway
Fair access to opportunities, based on demonstrated readiness.
