The Experience Institute enriches your education with real life experiences to make sure that you are work ready.
Very often, recruiters complain that graduates aren’t prepared for the job. They call it the talent gap. At the EI, they don’t think there is a lack of talent, they think there is a lack of real world experiences allowing you to apply your skills to the job. Therefore they have created a very special one year program to enhance your higher education and make sure that you can land the job off your dreams and make the company that will hire you very happy.
Once you get accepted, connectors from the industry that is of interest to you will make sure you pitch the right team to get a 3 months paid apprenticeship with them and get to experience. But EI doesn’t stop there, they accompany you along the way to make sure you are making the most of the experience. They help you to learn skills that you might need, they help you to step back and reflect on what you are doing and they help you plan for the future.
Finally, learning by doing is as its top!

I have been dreaming about Degreed and so have you I’m sure.
Imagine if your education wasn’t only about the classes you took but also about that book your read, this article you enjoyed, that conference your went to, etc. Because learning doesn’t only happen in a traditional setting, it happens everyday, everywhere, at any time. Degreed helps you realize what you really learned and keep track of all theses experiences to better showcase your potential as well as plan the next steps in your life long educational path.
You will be accompanied along the way and you will be able to track your progress. Education credentials became a currency and Degreed helps you become richer by adding up to your credentials all the ones that wouldn’t be recognized otherwise.
Organizations can also use Degreed to build their teams, follow up on employees’s trainings and better manager their workforce. Learning is key to the value of companies today.
Begin to see your resume differently and feel empowered to do more!
