Description:
StudyBank is an educational platform that provides tools to help students experience the thrill of learning and academic success, which will lead to a quicker path to completion and greater overall graduation results. StudyBank also provides students access to employers for their first professional experience.
StudyBank Provides Solutions to Key Student Challenges:
• Helps students stay on task by tracking study time
• Provides study tools and rewards for meeting goals
• StudyBank social academic network connects students with study partners, tutors, study groups, and includes a Q/A bulletin board
• Fosters mentorship from parents, extended family, alumni, and corporate executives
• Acts as a partner between students and employers who seek a higher level of talent
Each year, out of the more than 21 million students who attend US colleges and universities, over 34% of students do not graduate. In addition, 52% struggle due to a lack of motivation and study skills. Of those students who do graduate, over 44% are underemployed (they haven’t found a job in their major). Employers have noted that college students are not prepared for the demands of the work force. These student challenges contribute to an enormous loss of income, tremendous student debt, and puts a strain on their parent’s revenue.
StudyBank is easy to use. The platform includes a StudyBank Student App, a companion Mentor App and a connected Web portal.
