Problem
Many students struggle to access personalized career guidance and mentorship, hindering their ability to gain industry-relevant skills and build professional networks. Traditional career counseling services often lack the depth and individual attention needed to effectively prepare students for specific job roles. The cost of high-quality mentorship can also be a barrier for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
Solution
Edith Labs provides a structured mentorship program that connects students with industry professionals for personalized career guidance. Students are paired with mentors from leading companies and engage in bi-weekly sessions for a year, fostering meaningful relationships and contextual advice. The program utilizes an Income Share Agreement (ISA) model, aligning incentives between students and mentors, where repayment begins only after the student secures employment. This approach ensures accessibility and shared investment in the student's career success.
