Forkaia® | The College of Work and Future of Education. The Building Blocks of Learning and The Ultimate Internship Platform. All Rolled Into One Platform.
As we navigate the challenges of the 21st century, we need a new approach to education that prepares students for the demands of the future. The landscape of college education is shifting and traditional classroom learning is no longer enough. The old ways of teaching and learning are slowly crumbling and a new model is emerging. We are now entering an era of experiential learning where students learn by doing. This approach is aimed at preparing students for their careers and giving them the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workplace. We truly believe AI will change everything, mostly for good but jobs will be dissipated. A lot of them. We want to soften the shock effect by getting humans prepared for these changes, teaching the skills they need so to thrive in an ai-powered world.
The future of work and education is the combination of the two, a hybrid model. We’re tearing down the current system and rebuilding it in blocks. Education needs to be taught in shorter sprints, or “blocks”, you learn In short blocks then immediately apply those theories in work. Then connect the blocks (skills/educations) like Tetris, creating different pathways for yourself. The possibilities are endless. The future of college is the college of work. This means that students will learn a little and work a little. This approach is designed to bridge the gap between the academic world and the professional world. It will help students to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
Experiential learning is more practical than just the classroom learning experience of the traditional method. Unlike traditional classroom learning, which relies on lectures, textbooks, and exams, experiential learning focuses on the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. For example, instead of just reading about business strategies, students can work on real-life projects, gaining experience in analyzing data, making recommendations, and implementing solutions. This type of experiential learning is more practical and can provide students with the skills they need to succeed in their careers. It can be tailored to individual learning styles, allowing students to take charge of their own learning and develop a deeper understanding of the material. This type of learning is often more engaging and can foster a lifelong love of learning.
One of the key components of this new approach is the integration of internships into the curriculum. Internships provide students with hands-on experience in their chosen field. By embedding internships into learning, students can gain practical experience and learn about the challenges and opportunities of their chosen industry. This type of experience is essential for students to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce.
Internships can help students make valuable connections in their chosen industry and give them a competitive edge when they graduate. Through internships, students have the opportunity to network with professionals in their field, gain mentorship, and learn about potential job opportunities. This type of exposure can be invaluable for students as they look to establish themselves in their chosen field. Embedding internships into learning can help students develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills are essential for success in the workforce, and internships provide a safe and supportive environment for students to develop these skills.
We believe that internships should be a requirement for all students. They should be integrated into the curriculum as a core component of the educational experience.
So we built the ultimate internship platform, giving students exclusive access to over 150 different positions in over 300 cutting edge companies in a variety of different sectors, giving them the chance to gain valuable experience in some of the most exciting industries out there. Then we padded it with all tools, resources, performance coaches, mentors and assistants and whatever else you’d need to propel your life to the next level. It’s a super-platform, a life changing product.
We have helped thousands of students in the past 5 years gain work experience, develop career competencies, discover potential career paths and land the jobs the want.
Forkaia® trains students to become employees in their respective fields. Interns are able to choose from different teams and startups and switch between them based on their educational and career aspirations. Interns get an opportunity to participate in learning experiences and activities and chance to network with professionals throughout the Forkaia® ecosystem.
The internship helps interns develop career competencies and transferable skills such as problem solving, teamwork and effective communication. During the internship, Interns receive continuous Guidance, Role Modeling and Motivation with unlimited Access to Mentors and Performance Coaches. All interns are assigned a supervisor and mentor who will teach them valuable skills everyday.
Our team provides interns with essential tools like one-on-one meetings for constructive feedback, letters of recommendation, job references, and an Evaluation Certificate.
Interns choose the company, position, start date and duration and have access to move freely within roles, teams and startups and switch between them based on their educational and career aspirations. Interns get an opportunity to participate in learning experiences and activities and chance to network with professionals throughout the Forkaia® ecosystem.
You can open any of Forkaia’s doors and try out different companies, sectors and roles so you can get a good feel for what you like and don’t like as you navigate through your career. The internship is designed for educational training so rather than having you do the work of regular employees, we want you to learn about different parts of our business. We like to switch up the workload using a rotational program. Interns are receiving accreditations, college credits, equity, and experience in the projects that they work on. And ultimately get recruited to the company or school they’re pursuing thanks to Forkaia®.
Experiential learning is the future of education, and Forkaia® is the ultimate platform that will help students succeed. Join us in revolutionizing education and preparing the next generation of professionals for the challenges of the future.
