It's impossible to get a job without experience & skills, but it's impossible to get experience & skills without a job. It's ludicrous to us that 43% of new grads are underemployed, largely because of these "Catch-22" skill gaps.
Your career shouldn't get derailed before it's begun, simply because you don't know how to get the skills you need or have the network to open doors for you. We built Upslope to help.
We dream of a world in which anybody can better their economic prospects through their own drive & determination to grow. We stake our brand & social capital on unproven talent and give them venues to learn skills & prove themselves in a live workplace context.
The best part? It costs nothing upfront. By using income-share agreements, we enable students to defer their costs.
