083 | Rethinking How to Leverage Student Talent at Scale with Matthew Wilkerson

Matt Wilkerson is the co-founder and CEO of Paragon One – a platform providing flexible remote externships that help students gain hands-on work experience in different industries before they graduate. Paragon One partners with universities, high schools, and non-profits around the world to give students the chance to work on projects for US companies across sectors like technology, renewable energy, marketing, investment, and real estate. Paragon One enables these students to build job-ready skills and a network of industry connections at the very start of their careers. Matt sits down with Chris Snyder to discuss how higher education has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis and how Paragon One is helping students adjust to an increasingly remote workforce.
