Creating a upskilling platform for everyone with 8billionIdeas | Jenny Pool | Ep 17

Summary: <p>We all know about the gaps in our current schooling systems around the world. We pressurize kids to get top grades and expect them to finish school with flying grades and succeed in life. But do we really prepare them in school to succeed in life? What skills do we teach them to help them make a meaningful impact in the world. Jenny Pool introduces 8billionIdeas a company she co-founded in 2012 (known as 7 billion Ideas) to help supplement the current school curriculum. They focus on making sure the students are aware of entrepreneurship and other vital skills they would need once they step out of school. Listen to the entire episode to find out how this one company partnered with several hundred schools all over the world, corporate companies all with the belief that anyone - child, parent, working professional, college student - can upskill or learn new skills to do what makes them happy. </p> <p>https://www.8billionideas.com</p>
