TAFTA aims to educate young people with relevant, up-to-date technical, and practical skills for the creative industry to help students optimize their entrepreneurial capacity to secure sustainable employment and to foster sustainable growth and innovation in the emerging creative industries in Nigeria. Terra Kulture observed a dearth of trained technical production-skilled workers while working on multiple productions over the years and has been informally involved in training young Nigerians in efforts to improve the skills of such workers. Consequently, Terra Academy for the Arts (TAFTA) was established to formalize these skilling efforts.​
