We develop larger pools of skilled talent through a system of project- oriented training and assessment.
These curated pipelines of skilled talent build real life skills and experience by working on relevant projects from large corporations to small businesses.
Our initial focus will be media content production, marketing strategy and social media operations but our road map plan includes sales, finance, consumer marketing, analytics, and other advanced technology.

HOW IT WORKS
CNN would like to expand their local news bureau and news gathering operations in Los Angeles. In addition, they want to cultivate a larger pool of experienced candidates without incurring major costs.
Max Edwards curates a relationship between CNN and Veterans in Media & Entertainment (VME) and Circle K to train media production professionals for a fee.
>> The partnership fee gives CNN the ability to feed projects to our training program as well as work with military veterans which is one of their social goals.
>>Max Edwards collaborates with various industry experts and functional partners to provide the training, mentorship and supervision of the project teams.
>>Through an iterative process the project teams produce and present the best versions of the project deliverables to CNN for evaluation.
>>CNN evaluates multiple versions of the completed projects and selects the version that meets their objectives most. They also assess the talent.
>>CNN decides how to best distribute the winning content as well as assess and select talent for workforce needs.
