Working In The Human Cloud
Noel highlights how micro-internships can be used to fix the college to career pipeline problem.
Instead of once a year internships, freelance projects can open up access to more students, accelerate the time to learning (and value for companies), and provide a sustainable talent pipeline outside the typical Universities companies already show up at.
Featured Quote from Chapter 4, Why Changemakers Are Moving to the Human Cloud
I went from not being able to attain a single opportunity, let alone an interview, to having over 10 interviews and a handful of full-time job offers. I used this newly acquired confidence to land a full-time position when I graduate from Texas A&M University with my Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering. This was all in one year. One year! It is insane for me to think how much my life changed with the right opportunity. I never would have imagined all this being possible. For me, the college-to-career transition had been one of the most difficult challenges in my life, but each project gave me indispensable knowledge about myself and the real world that I otherwise would have never attained.
