NordicFuture is developing a platform that uses AI to match university students with study-relevant student jobs. Experience in a study-relevant job is one of the most important factors when applying for a full-time job after completing one’s studies. A study shows that 91.8% of students with study-relevant jobs during their studies are employed two years after graduating, whereas only 57.2% of those without such jobs have found employment. Another study shows that only 44% of university students are employed in a study-relevant student job. The problem is that many students find it difficult to start the job search, and once they begin, they struggle to find relevant student jobs. From the employers' perspective, we have found that many companies experience challenges in finding the right candidates, while others are unaware of the value a student worker can contribute to their firm. At NordicFuture, we aim to make the job search easier by creating a platform that turns the job search process on its head. Students only need to register on the platform by uploading their CV, after which they can wait to be contacted as soon as a study-relevant job matching their skills becomes available. To further elaborate on their profiles, the students will be asked to take a personality test to ensure that we can facilitate the most suitable matches. The AI will leverage insights into competencies acquired through diverse university studies, using this information to evaluate candidates' skill profiles based on the educational background outlined in their CVs. It will also have knowledge of competencies acquired through previous jobs. Overall, the AI will consider three factors when assessing the competencies and personality of a student: Completed education, professional experience, and the results of the personality test. The profile formed by these three factors will then be compared against the requirements of vacant positions in terms of competencies and personalities to create a match. At the same time, we make it easier for employing companies to find and filter relevant candidates without incurring high costs. We achieve this by attracting a large pool of job-seeking students to our platform. As with the process for the students, our AI then analyzes each candidate's competencies and the employers' requirements to make optimal matches. The AI will be asked to find 3-5 suitable candidates (or however many the employing company thinks is appropriate) which will be sent to a job interview. Thanks to the efficiency of our platform, we can dedicate resources to communicating the value of student workers to companies that may be unaware. By doing this, we will expand the pool of available student jobs, ultimately resulting in a higher percentage of students securing study-relevant jobs. We, the two founders of NordicFuture, are university students ourselves, who have experienced firsthand the challenges of searching for study-relevant jobs. Being part of the student community, we are attuned to the sentiments and experiences of our peers regarding study-relevant employment. An education is not just an education; it is the start of one's career. However, for many students, taking the next step and launching that career is currently a time-consuming and often discouraging process. This is why we believe a new approach to searching for student jobs is needed.

Atvance is developing a comprehensive marketing and sales solution to help educational institutions effectively enroll students in educational courses by leveraging risk-free, personalized strategies. Educational institutions face the ongoing challenge of attracting and securing qualified enrollments, especially for self-funded programs. This issue is multifaceted, encompassing the need to create market awareness, guide potential students through decision-making, and ensure a smooth registration and payment process. A failure in any part of this chain can mean lost revenue, underutilized resources, and missed opportunities for potential students to gain valuable education. Atvance's business model offers institutions a 100% risk-free experience. Institutions only pay once they receive the funds from enrollments, ensuring they never lose money using Atvance’s service. The inception of Atvance was born from a shared vision between Simon Thomassen and Thomas Williams. Having completed their postgraduate studies together at CBS, the duo realized the gaps in the education market, especially in the realm of self-funded courses. Combining Simon's expertise in soft product sales and marketing with Thomas's experience in coaching and project management, they sought to make a significant difference for select educational partners. At the heart of Atvance is the mission to make it easier for people to find their purpose and aid individuals on their path to personal development. This passion stems from the belief that education is a powerful tool for personal growth, and every person should have a smooth path to access the courses that can reshape their futures. Atvance is more than just a business; it's a commitment to enhancing the educational landscape.
