PROBLEM
STATEMENT
Many HNG intern find it hard to get jobs because their
skills, project and achievements are spread across
different website and platforms. This makes it difficult
for the client to see what they can actually do.
Companies also find it difficult to identify reliable junior
talent in an informal market. Without a centralized
credible system to connect trained interns with real
opportunities, both talents and employers lose out.
