Careerist
|
Careerist is an ed-fintech platform that trains job seekers for tech careers (in QA, Sales, Support & more), finances them and automates their job hunting. Community colleges are declining because people now prefer acquiring specific hard skills rather than general ones, and they seek fast training programs that can be completed in months,rather than years. Traditional financial institutions have failed to provide adequate support to underserved communities that have significant potential (approximately 45 million people in the U.S. lack access to or are underserved by traditional credit products). We have developed a unique approach to qualifying these individuals, providing them with more financial protection against potential failures.Techcrunch: "Edtech meets SaaS in Careerist’s job placement learning platform. The startup trains job seekers through live and self-paced training taught by third-party tutors. The adaptive learning software is meant to help candidates prep for tech interviews. Once a candidate is well equipped, Careerist uses automation to help them apply for jobs." | $8M / Series A / Mar 29, 2023 | |
