about
Empowering you to succeed in a digital world
At Academy Xi, we’re building a bold community of ambitious changemakers. With our purpose-driven approach towards future-ready career development, we’re committed to unleashing powerful potential across people’s lives.
academy xi
Our name (pronounced “ex-eye”) and logo are a reflection of the critical role we play in shaping our own lives and the world around us.
In mathematics, “X” is a variable, a problem that needs to be solved, and “i” stands for the personal responsibility and power to solve the problem. Brought together, “Xi” reflects our commitment to not only identifying problems in the world, but also becoming part of the solution.
the problem
Traditional education models are not able to match the pace of technological change. Their approach fails to meet industry and employers’ need to hire people with hands-on experience, who can hit the ground running.
the solution
This is where Academy Xi comes in – we teach high-demand skills across Human-Centred Design, Tech & Data, and Business & Marketing, to meet the insatiable need for job-ready talent.
our vision
To be Australia’s leading digital talent company
