Project description
Innovative platform helping the next generation navigate the future
The path from high school to university and then onto employment is not always an easy one. Goodwall, a career development platform for the next generation, helps young students and early career professionals enhance their skills, network and navigate the future of learning and earning opportunities. The EU-funded Goodwall project will conduct a feasibility study of the platform to assess its ability to meet the needs of different customers, minimise risks, confirm its viability and ascertain that it meets the technical, commercial and financial requirements for successful commercialisation.
Objective
Students aged 19-24 normally are in the mid to late years of college. They start to worry about career development and may look for summer internships and other real-world experience to prepare themselves for life after graduation.
No social network is designed to help this large group of people to share and communicate the ideas and struggles they face when accommodating the drastic changes happening in their lives. LinkedIn targets adults over 30 years and has failed to grasp this demographic.
Enter Goodwall, the platform was launched as a pilot in 2015 targeting 14-18-year olds and has been a remarkable success. If we want to successfully expand to the 19-24 demographic, a major revamp of functionalities and stakeholders needs to take place.
Goodwall plans to unite three verticals, social networks, university recruitment, and employee recruitment who share the same demographic but offer separate services. Therefore, the main users will be Students low experienced job seekers, and universities and companies looking for high talented students and graduates.
We have the firm target of 7,500 Universities/Companies partners after 5 years of the upgraded social network in the market.
Monetisation is proven as we generate over €600,000 yearly with the pilot platform as it stands over >1M users and over 100 university partners. However, we are not yet a profitable company and require aggressive financing to meet growth forecasts in the short to medium term.
