Redbank, NJ - Today's graduate faces many challenges when entering the post-college workforce. Heavy competition has forced many entry-level positions to require experience that most college graduates do not have. Students often believe they need to continue into graduate studies, to make up for the lack of experience on their resume. This is where organizations like play a vital role in developing skills and knowledge for students and recent graduates. The organization provides gamified training modules for students to not only get ‘real-world ready' but also prepared much earlier, with clear outcomes.

'We define student success as chapters, signposts, and hustle; not resumes, cover letters, and pre-scripted interview questions, TJ explains. 'We are creating a very human-focused experience, not one that simply drops students into a software program, and calls it a day. The Human side of it allows students to know how to meet experts earlier, to drive their path ahead.
