Jay Kodeswaran has accepted our return offer. What a relief! Over his internship, Jay has become a residential expert in many domains. He is an essential part of our team. How does he become so important as a new grad? It's simple: Jay has the knowledge and the experiences. The requirement is the same for everyone, whether you are an undergrad, a graduate student, a PhD, or a senior employee at big tech. To be effective in a job, you need knowledge and experience. There is a path to get that knowledge and experience -- more internships. Jay walks through his example and demonstrates that it's possible to do many internships over four years in college. The extra benefit of doing many internships is to learn what you like and dislike early on, which is probably one of the most important factors of long-term career success.

In this article with Test Innovators, we share how preparing for college and career in 9th and 10th grade is a great opportunity for personal growth and reflection, and can help propel you toward a great future. https://hubs.ly/Q02D2vj50

🎇 Celebrating wins and learnings of 2023, in a world deeply in need of justice, peace, and equity. 🎀 Some moments crystalize the positive impact of our team's work that I am especially grateful for as we close out the year: 🙌 Expanding our work to our first new school partner, IN-Tech Academy, led by David Weissberg. We are so proud of our partnership and excited for our work together this year and beyond. Check out our first ever College Career March video below! 🙌When a student opens a college acceptance email and falls to the floor with joy, feeling the victory of their hard work and determination. 🙌When a donor calls me to express how excited they are about our work to create environmental workforce pathways for our students and alumni and asks how they can become more involved. 🙌 When a teacher says, this internship experience has changed my student’s life. 🙌When an alumna texts me to let me know that it was our college trip tour their junior year that pushed them to apply to and attend college. As I reflect on the huge accomplishments of 2023, I am especially grateful for our #staff, #boardofdirectors, #teachers and #schoolleadership, #community, #partners, #investors, and #supporters. 🎆 We have achieved even greater impact because of our community and I am so excited about 2024!!

Previous reports from the study showed that P-TECH students earned more credits, passed more New York State Regents exams, and were much more likely to take college courses and earn college credits in high school than comparison group students. New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic. https://lnkd.in/e54rSYKT

"Out of touch" is a phrase no founder wants to hear, yet it's an easy trap to fall into. The risk of disconnection is real. That’s why I try and be present at as many student fairs as possible myself. Regularly attending student fairs is my way of getting first-hand experience of the pulse of our market. To me, each interaction is a goldmine of insights. Each piece of feedback is a scope for innovation, pushing us to refine continuously And enhance our offerings. These direct conversations with students fuel SecureMyScholarship's evolution, Ensuring that we are not just meeting but anticipating their needs. We collect many data points online from various channels, but they become invaluable when reconciled with the insights from in-person meetings. I’m sure all leaders understand the importance of “street knowledge.” What’s your way of staying updated and connected with your customers?
