"Goodwall’s development was planned according to three distinct steps:
- Step #1, “High School Students”: This step has been achieved in the form of the current Goodwall application, currently operational. (1.3 Mil users, +150 countries around the world, +65,000 different schools). As a starting point, support and recognition is provided to high school students by Goodwall’s Universities and coaches.
- Step #2, “University Students”: Goodwall grows and adapts to the needs of its users. Through various updates of the platform, users from the 19-24-year-old demographic will be able to build a network according to their personal and professional aspirations by discovering and applying for courses, programmes, internships, as well as part-time and full-time jobs.
- Step #3, “Recent Graduates”: By enabling the possibility to identify most relevant employment opportunities following the high school and University cycles, Goodwall plans to cater to the needs of young graduates older than 24 years as well. Additional learning courses, personal coaching sessions, executive learning opportunities and job placement will become available on the platform for this specific demographic group.
Goodwall’s first pilot project (addressing Step #1) was launched in the UK, US, and Switzerland, where it attained more than 800,000 users in the course of one year by sharing and liking the platform. Bearing in mind the remarkable outputs and wide acceptance thanks to the beta, Goodwall aims to further improve and develop its offer, targeting University students in the 19-24 age group, provided they want to find internships, summer schools, graduate degrees, or entry-level jobs in their fields. According to this, the current state of development of the technology is TRL7.
We are currently engaged in the Stesp #2 and #3. Our fist customers have bridged their transition from high school into Universities, and our application is growing up with them. Goodwall will accompany this generation along the academic growth, and into their induction into the job market.
The final result of the project will be a full platform for career development of young students and early career professionals, tailored to their needs, and enabling them to leverage of their earnt skills and aptitudes to bridge the transition from high school to University and into the job market, accompanying them through the whole process.
Our solution will have a clear social impact: by enabling young students to better showcase their skills, experience, and CV, we will facilitate and coach their transition into the job market, endowing them with a whole set of career development opportunities and tools. This will help address the problem of youth unemployment, while addressing the needs of the future job market.
