The last 2 decades have seen an increasing disconnect between industry and academia - this has resulted in colleges not teaching industry-relevant technical skills and thereby students becoming unemployable Creating an altogether new engineering curriculum, taking it to the masses, and delivering it to the students in a way that they fall in love with engineering is what our goal is. If you can think about providing an education better than MIT or Stanford at a fraction of the price; delivering the same high-quality education to everyone who takes it; and making sure they succeed in achieving their goals as a result of our education. This is what we are building. We are looking for individuals who can bring their experience and help us build an alternate engineering college thereby providing high-quality engineering education to the future generation. Right now, we at Skill-Lync have 650+ dedicated, hardworking, perseverant people working together and trying to make engineering education better. One of the greatest strengths we have is a great team of alumni of leading global companies now working with us, Ex-Managing Director of Accenture, Ex-VP Marketing of WhiteHat Jr, Samsung R&D Head, and senior managers from BOSCH, ABB, Michelin, KPIT, Tech Mahindra, etc.
