Skilbi, A Platform for the Overlooked

Do you ever feel like networking platforms do not live up to their expectations? You would expect to find access to skill-building opportunities and resources on platforms such as LinkedIn and Handshake. Instead, you find that there are perquisites to these resources, including experience, portfolios, and a degree from a prestigious university. Unlike these other platforms, Skilbi wants to actually help you gain experience and hone your skills, regardless of the university you attended or are attending. Skilbi believes that your potential should not be determined by these factors alone, which is why Skilbi was created.

Designed for the overlooked

Skilbi has a simple mission, a mission that is presumably shared by many other professional networking platforms. Skilbi wants to close the gap between students looking to enhance their professional development and the resources they need to achieve that. This gap is a dilemma that significantly impacts first-generation and minority students. However, other professional networks do not keep these students and their struggles in mind. Many of these students lack opportunities for growth and exposure, the kinds of opportunities that result in experience.

These students are often overlooked because of this lack of resources. To make matters worse, to access the networking and skill-building opportunities that other platforms offer, these students need what they often do not have: experience. Unsurprisingly, students then struggle to grow on platforms such as these.

Nevertheless, Skilbi’s mission is to provide these students with the resources they need to gain experience and essential networking connections such as mentors. More than that, Skilbi was designed for overlooked students who want to grow in their career development. Therefore, unlike other platforms, all you need to flourish with Skilbi is will and dedication.
