Nikita: Symba is on a mission to open up the workforce. Over twelve million students do not have access to participate in an internship program, even though they seek the opportunity. We interviewed 250+ talent leaders and discovered that employers lack the necessary tools and resources to scale accessible internships and needed a solution. Symba’s technology and resources help talent leaders take their programs hybrid or remote, opening their internships to candidates based anywhere with internet access.

Kevin Celisca: Innovating the Education Process

May 24, 2022 Posted by: George Romar Kevin Celisca,  NJ,  SDG 4,  USA

Kevin: Hello, Spiffy! The challenge we are addressing is instructional inequity. Did you know that systemic inequity in instructional programs prevents students from receiving a comparable education from class to class or school to school? This inequity is most clearly evident in the quality of a school’s lesson plans, which may be misaligned, inconsistent, and riddled with instructional bias. A contributing factor is the fact that most schools use email and Google Docs to manage this process. The result often is overworked teachers and underserved students.
