Our take
College students often face the challenge of lacking real-world experience, making it difficult to land their first job. This can be particularly true for students who don't have connections or access to internship opportunities.
Podium Education tackles this problem by providing undergraduate students with real-world project-based experiences through its university network and career accelerator platform. Partnering with over 60 universities and leading corporations like Intel, Podium allows students to build in-demand skills in areas like digital marketing, coding, and data analytics.
To further strengthen its reach and impact, Podium recently acquired Untapped, an all-in-one early career talent platform connecting students with top companies like JP Morgan and Stripe. This acquisition brings together Podium's extensive university network with Untapped's vast employer network, ultimately, positioning Podium to become a leader in experiential education.
