Partner with us to provide your job seekers with opportunities to gain practical experience and build their professional portfolios before landing their dream jobs.
Entry-level positions require experience, but how do job seekers get experience without a job?
Talented professionals struggle to break into competitive job markets because they lack demonstrable work experience, even when they have the necessary skills.
Certificates and coursework alone are no longer enough. Employers want proof of real-world contribution and the ability to deliver under real constraints.
Job boards connect candidates with opportunities but cannot help candidates become more competitive or build the experience employers demand.
This creates a gap where qualified candidates remain unemployed while employers struggle to find experienced talent.
SkilledUp Life provides the missing link: a structured pathway for job seekers to gain real work experience with tech startups.

Your job board refers job seekers to SkilledUp Life through a co-branded onboarding page or integration, positioning it as a valuable career development resource.

Startups need talent but can't afford full-time hires
Job boards want more competitive candidates
