Data Analytics, Marketing & Programming (UNPAID) Summer/Fall Internship
WHO WE ARE
Forkaia is the future of work and education. We believe college students deserve better tools to assist them in their journey. So we built a vast ecosystem of talent, tools and resources that supports college students at every point of their careers and helps them prosper.
Our platform includes an Innovation Lab of over 200 startups, Startup Accelerator, Consulting Agency, Academy, Creative Accelerator, a Farm system that nurtures, trains, and manages a new type of talent - the Business Athlete, and a one of a kind Talent Agency through which the world's greatest resources in a soon-to-be AI-driven world (young, talented human brains) will be trained, selected (drafted), managed, compensated and placed (traded) where they may maximize the application of their skills for the betterment of humanity as a whole.
Forkaia started 3 years ago by giving college students a chance to participate in our company, get real life experience and grow. We wanted to encourage students to build their ideas and start their own startups. We built multiple programs to help them learn new skills, develop their talents and get the work experience they need so they can go further in their professional careers.
Today, we have helped over 1,000 college students land the jobs they want, get work experience, and start their own businesses.
