Skill Samurai Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2023

The ONLY Brick & Mortar and On-the-Go STEM Model: Unlike many other STEM programs that offer only either mobile partnerships or a brick & mortar facility, Skill Samurai is the ONLY STEM franchise for children ages 7-18 to offer both. Our mobile, on-the-go partnerships are secured by renting temporary spaces, such as churches, schools, community centers, and existing complementary businesses. Owners can begin in temporary spaces and grow their customer base before launching a retail space allowing for a faster ramp-up.

In-Demand Curriculum: The need for advanced IT and programming is continuing to increase. There will be 1.4 million open computing jobs by 2020 but only 400,000 computer-science graduates with the skills to fill them. Skill Samurai prepares students for the jobs that will be in demand in the future by focusing on real programming languages as opposed to drag-and-drop programs other STEM academies use to simplify coding processes. This future-focused vision allows us to constantly develop and create new classes, ensuring that Skill Samurai Learning Centers will always be relevant, current, and our curriculum is updated every 6 months to keep up with ever-changing technology. Supplemental education is a need-based, recession-resilient service as parents will always continue to support their children's future.

Effortless Staffing: Skill Samurai Learning centers are 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.

Complementary Revenue Streams: 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. Because our four main career paths offer four years of content, students are encouraged to stick with our program for a number of years, for recurring revenue. Year-round programs are signed up for on a weekly basis with a 3-month minimum commitment.
