Forte is the world's leading platform for talent development and workforce development. Forte is the platform that sits between the funders of education/training and education/training providers, enabling funders to "never fund failure" and only pay for what works. Forte makes outcomes-based training programs simple -
without the usual headaches and complexity.
Forte's platform consists of several core products and services: - ForteX: The software platform that makes it easy for any funder of education/training to easily manage outcomes-based training programs. Funders can track progress, verify results, and easily pay for outcomes rather than inputs. - ForteVerse: The marketplace and procurement platform for short-course training worldwide, with a focus on AI. - ForteFi (also known as "The Forte Model" or "TIBS: Tax Increment Backed Securities"): An innovative new way to finance education, at no cost to individuals or governments, and without needing philanthropy. It's a way to have as much impact as scholarships, but with far more scalability. In short, private capital covers the cost of education, and governments just pass back a portion of the additional income tax they receive from the retrained individuals. This aligns incentives. It means governments don't need to worsen the budget and never pay for what doesn't work. They just pass back what they otherwise would not have had. This approach solves a lot of the problems with Income Share Agreements (ISAs) and student loans, and has been endorsed by the World Economic Forum. It has been implemented highly effectively in many countries worldwide.
