About StudentVenture
StudentVenture is building the new standard in student recruitment.
We exist to ensure students gain experience directly related to their degree and to help companies access better, more prepared talent.
By combining employer branding, skills-based hiring, and early engagement into one platform, we enable companies to connect with students through projects, internships, mentorships, events, and assessments, not just CVs.
Through partnerships with UNiDAYS we reach millions of students globally. Over 5000 students are already engaged. We’re on a mission to reach 100,000+ by 2026.
