Meet the founder.

Hi, I’m Jack Roberts, founder of Upskill Academy.

Over the years, I’ve learnt that the best lessons in life don’t always come from textbooks - they come from real experiences, trial and error, and the wisdom of great mentors. Over time, I’ve shared these lessons with my kids, family, and friends, and now I want to share them with you - because the right knowledge can shape your future and help you achieve your goals.

From a young age, I was fortunate to have successful business mentors share with me the kind of practical knowledge most people never get access to; how to invest in shares and real estate, understanding tax and accounting, and confidently navigate other real world skills.

I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a range of professional certifications, and have worked across multiple industries throughout Australia. But what truly drives me is making real-world education engaging, practical, and accessible to everyone, especially those just beginning their learning journey.

That’s why I created Upskill Academy. A place where teens and adults can gain the essential life skills schools often overlook. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take control of your future, you’re in the right place.

Let’s build the future you deserve.
