Could Udemy connect students with jobs? Perhaps that could be something Udemy could integrate into the platform. It could also serve as a source for new revenue. Companies pay to find great talent. Udemy has the potential to collect AMAZING data about students (future employees): what they've learned, how fast they learn, how frequently they learn; their dedication and persistence.
Udemy could also build in student peer-to-peer learning functionality. Learning has ALWAYS been social. We are humans - we learn from each other. Students could then demonstrate their social characteristics. This data could also be captured. This data would then also given employers more insight into future potential employees: language skills, social skills, communication skills, prosocial team orientation, emotional intelligence.
All of that DATA about future employees could be then analyzed against a company's internal data on their current employees. AI could look at characteristics of current successful employees in certain positions, then compare that to Udemy students to find students who would be great future employees in certain positions.
AI could also identify for students characteristics about them which would make them good candidates for certain positions, and then help those students develop those skills. For instance, some students are *not* inherently great software engineers, however they might be super gifted at interpersonal relationships and good enough at coding to make them amazing product managers.
The problem to solve here is SOURCING HUMAN CAPITAL.
Education has always existed to train people to be employees.
Employers need help finding great employees.
Students need help and guidance finding employment and careers that best match their natural aptitudes.
Often others can know us better than we know ourselves. In this case, now, in this amazing new future in which we find ourselves, AI can now know us better than we know ourselves and help us realize our best futures as both individuals and organizations.
Let's ... build ... that.
I would love to see that come to fruition,
And yes, I am available as a PM to help make that happen. Seriously. If you're going to build that, let's talk. I'm the perfect person to help make that happen.
