“[The program] totally blew away our expectations! Our students had a great experience and especially enjoyed the intercultural training. This is an excellent way for students across disciplines to gain experience in the context of the real world.”‍

FOR COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

Boost student outcomes with a scalable, integrated, high-impact platform.

Fewer than half of college students—and less than 30% of first-generation students—participate in high-impact practices like internships or study abroad. Partnering with Podium is the fastest, easiest, and most scalable way for universities to provide students with real-world global experience and prepare them for high-demand jobs.
Podium's programs prepare students for careers with:
  • LiveLabs featuring students from across the U.S. and the world
  • Real-world projects that prepare them for complex professional situations
  • Exposure to new industries and roles–and the skills and confidence to meet them head-on
  • Opportunity to earn employer-validated digital badges upon completion
