About ALA Academy

We're building a fairer
way to discover talent.

A project of ALA Core, built around one idea: with honest and consistent measurement, we can find people with real talent — even if a traditional CV screen would reject them.

The core idea

One idea. A different way
to look at talent.

We believe that honest and consistent measurement can reveal talent that a traditional CV screen would overlook.

At ALA Academy, we design learning and assessment experiences that show what people can actually do — not just what's written on paper.

Our beliefs

Four beliefs that guide everything we do.

Our beliefs handwriting
01

Potential shows up in behaviour, not credentials.

What people do, how they think, and how they learn tells us more than where they studied or what's on their CV.

02

A selection process is only as good as its transparency.

We measure consistently, share clear rubrics, and make the process understandable for everyone.

03

The non-winners are not the filler.

Many of our learners don't get selected, and that's okay. They leave with real skills, feedback, and a stronger profile for future opportunities.

04

The partner pays, so our incentives are visible.

Companies pay us a commission on successful placements. This keeps our incentives aligned with real outcomes.

Founder
Founder story

Why we started.

ALA Academy was founded on a simple belief: ideas and talent know no language, country, race, or borders.

I founded this platform to give every ambitious person a fair opportunity to learn and prove their abilities through real work—and to help companies discover talent based on skills, not certificates or backgrounds.

“When talent is given a fair opportunity, it can change the world.”

Louay Chalabi, Founder & CEO, ALA Academy
How it works

The partner pays.
Our incentives are visible.

ALA Academy works with companies through direct partnerships — not a self-serve marketplace. Our partners hire from our talent pool, and pay us a commission on successful placements. This keeps our focus clear: we succeed when our learners succeed.
