UpSkill Community

We are the leader’s choice to Skill, ReSkill and UpSkill.

UpSkill Community is the answer to your call

Founded in 2009, what is now known as UpSkill Community was born through the merging of two companies: ProExcellence and Distinct Privilege.

ProExcellence provided leadership training for individuals and organizations. It also coordinated mastermind groups providing a space for peer to peer mentorship where leaders shared life and leadership experiences, supported one another, problem solved together and sharpened their skills.

UpSkill Community has an interesting History!

Then

Distinct Privilege offered professional networking and community connection opportunities through social engagements and events. It gave leaders the opportunity to gather with other leaders, expand their networks, create and deepen their sense of community.

Ten years later both companies were merged into one to better meet leaders’ learning needs while fostering community connections and the company name was changed to UpSkill Community (The UpSkill Corporation Inc.).

We have served thousands of leaders and facilitated leadership conversations across the globe. It became clear that leaders value community connections and a sense of belonging baked into the learning experience. So, we listened to our leaders, partners and consulted with experts to create a space to reflect these unique needs—Upskill Community.

Our clients include various branches of government, business and educational institutions focused on the development of cutting edge self-leadership skills and equitable leadership, mentorship and communication for the modern workplace. Our feedback and evaluations are consistently top notch.

Most importantly, we are still listening.
