We've developed a workforce development platform that bridges the gap for students, companies, and universities. Higher education is incapable of delivering real-world learning for every student resulting in 2.5 million students leaving college in search of fast-tracked credentials and certificates to be globally competitive. Industries are investing over $300 billion annually in employee upskilling. We have created the solution to prepare students for work and provide industries a pool of talent. We have created a company project portal for students to acquire workplace skills. Companies from around the world load projects across all 165 sub-industries and with a touch of a button, students access and embed authentic learning into every degree program. Teams of students compete for the best solution driving creativity, ingenuity, reflection, and revision--all the qualities needed to be critical thinkers. For example, Google loads a cybersecurity project into the portal and 200 teams (800 students) compete to find the best solution. Students are judged and graded according to company metrics, not university standards. This taste of company collaboration takes learning to a new level. Companies can hire one student or the entire team!The project winners get pipelined to our recruitment platform. This publication allows industry leaders access to effective, proven teams and digital portfolios. From there, the top 100 teams attend an annual international symposium at a premier location to showcase project solutions. Let the games begin!
