🤔 Curious what it is like to host a EdTech MBA fellow? Here is what Alison Lee from Common Sense Media had to say about their two Spring '24 fellows Ziqin Yuan and Staphany Hou from The Wharton School who were investment interns for Common Sense Growth Fund: 📣 "The two Spring 24 Fellows we hosted were so well suited to the market landscape work we needed accomplished at Common Sense Growth. Our Fellows' prior work experiences and networks were directly relevant, making them mostly self directed, and their high intrinsic motivation for the work content meant that they asked great questions, contributed to shaping their projects, and ultimately landed high quality deliverables.” 💼 Want to host a fellow?

In the near future, today's students will enter jobs that do not yet exist. The graduate labor market faces challenges from automation, casualization, globalization, and an anticipated rise in graduate numbers over the next decade. These factors create ongoing issues for higher education, including underemployment, the perceived value of a degree, and the widening gap between education and the workforce. For more insights on these challenges and potential solutions, read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/dZhH_Ecq Members of the Higher Education Edtech Leadership Board, chaired by Mary Curnock Cook and in partnership with Jisc, have also compiled a list of emerging edtech companies for 2024 to help universities use technology to prepare students for post-graduate success amid changing skill demands and debates over degree value. We are proud to be on this list. At Virtual Internships, we believe placements should be an integral part of education. We work with global educators and industry leaders to integrate experiential learning into academic offerings, remove barriers to work experience, and provide equal access to mentoring opportunities for diverse learners. 📥 DM us to discuss how we can help enhance your employability initiatives. #Edtech #HigherEducation #GraduateEmployability #ExperientialLearning

🌟 Reflecting back on one of my greatest college achievements makes me feel very pleased. Being the first-ever project and startup expo in our college, it was a pivotal moment for showcasing innovation and talent. However, when I noticed the absence of registrations from my department, I knew immediate action was needed. Taking the initiative, I approached our Head of Department and swiftly devised a solution. Despite the challenge of our final year students being occupied with internships, I didn't let this setback deter me. Instead, I proposed the idea of presenting final year projects by second-year students – a bold move that paid off brilliantly. Through effective communication with faculty and leveraging my network of seniors and juniors, I orchestrated the registration process seamlessly. The result? Our department not only participated but excelled, clinching three out of seven awards at the expo. This experience underscored the importance of teamwork, communication, and mentorship in achieving success. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a remarkable feat and look forward to many more collaborations that drive innovation and excellence. #Leadership #Teamwork #Innovation #Mentorship #SuccessStory 🚀

Building strong partnerships between universities and industry is essential to equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in rapidly evolving fields like STEM. By integrating experiential learning—such as internships, co-ops, and capstones—universities ensure students are prepared to meet industry demands. These collaborations empower students to work with cutting-edge tools, gain real-world experience, and address pressing societal challenges. Such partnerships not only enhance graduate employability but also foster innovation, with many students transitioning seamlessly into roles with their industry collaborators upon graduation. This cycle benefits students, industry partners, and society alike.

“I have absolutely nothing on my CV. How do I begin?” I still remember stressing over my US college application process, constantly trying to fill my CV and Common App with extracurriculars that could add that exciting factor to my application. Enter summer programs! A brilliant way to network with like-minded individuals and gain practical knowledge at some of the top universities in the world. But here’s the catch—most summer programs are too expensive unless you have a generous scholarship, and the process can be tiresome overall. 💤 To bridge this major gap, the Finance & Investment Cell, Hindu College, in collaboration with Enactus Hindu College, is organizing a one-week fellowship program where you can explore Entrepreneurship fundamentals and Startup Finance. Plus, you’ll have a chance to win a research internship opportunity! This is an absolutely unmissable opportunity for high schoolers looking to gain valuable knowledge and build a strong college application. 💪 Note: This opportunity is also open to incoming college students and advancing second-year students, as the knowledge imparted is applicable across students of any age! ✅Key Benefits: - Opportunity for Research Internship - Fellowship Certificate - Letter of Recommendation - Captivating Speaker Sessions - Hands-on Case Studies - Development Sessions - Exciting Prizes Tap on the link below or scan the QR to register exclusively on Unstop: https://lnkd.in/g5qxAeQz
