Skill Samurai Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Skill Samurai is the world's first franchise focused on career-readiness education and they are on a mission to prepare students for the changing workplace infrastructure of the 21st century! Skill Samurai goes beyond the standard offerings of other available STEM programs to provide a clear, defined goal of preparing students for careers of the future. We offer courses in brick and mortar learning centers along with on-the-go partnerships for kindergarten through high school age students, allowing our Franchise Owners quicker ramp-up, multiple revenue streams, and natural cross-marketing to ensure repeat business.

Business Features:
1. Curriculum Philosophy: We are a STEM.org accredited program and believe in the mantra; Coding to Learn, not Learning to Code. Anyone can teach kids to code, for us we teach kids to thrive through creativity, problem solving, logical and critical thinking, communications, resilience, leadership and teamwork. We want our students to be prepared for their future and fill the demand for more STEM employees in the workforce. Join us in creating a profitable, ethical brand that delivers positive impact to our next generation.
2. Effortless Staffing: Skill Samurai is extremely easy to operate with very few staff members. Because we implement a self-directed curriculum, a ratio of 1 teacher to 10 students is sufficient. We also have a successful, proven model in place to hire university and college computer science students as teachers and coaches, and our locations can be operated with 1-3 part-time employees. Other STEM concepts require around 25. In addition to that, no prior experience is required, as we provide an extensive training program with a STEM Certification for all new Owners, which is also unique to Skill Samurai.
3. Predictable Revenue Streams: Skill Samurai is a membership model, which means our Franchise Owners earn predictable, recurring revenue.The combination of our brick & mortar locations and our on-the-go partnerships allow us to attract more clients, resulting in natural cross-marketing and repeat business. Our year-round program and summer camps help provide a surplus of opportunities to our Franchise Owners and students. We offer a wide variety of programs that create predictable revenues including; After School Coding Classes, School Holiday Coding Camps, Career Readiness Education, Kids Coding Birthday parties, Signature Coding Program, and STEM Programs for your School.
4. Flexible Ownership Options: Our Owners can choose a mobile business, brick and mortar facility, or a combination of the two! Skill Samurai can be run as Owner-Operator, or Semi-Absentee depending on how the Owner prefers to be involved in the business. Staff can be easily trained to handle the teaching so that Owners can focus on building a stable and successful business while also enjoying time with their families. Our classes are registration-based to save on the overhead of staffing instructors.
5. Future Focused: Preparing students for tomorrow's workplace, while our Owner's build a bright financial future. Our Owners are actively involved in their communities, becoming a well-known presence as they network and partner with various community organizations and outreach groups. Owners become leaders in the areas of kids and technology as they build brand awareness at community events. Internationally, Skill Samurai sponsors schools so that underserved youth can get their basic education, including literacy, numeracy, technological and vocational skills.
