Launch into tech by building in the real world
Paved is a highly selective software and media agency run by students. Collaborate on real-world products and services to develop in-demand skills, build your resume, and grow your network.
The Challenges
How do you break into tech without tech experience? Startup internships are relatively scarce and extremely difficult to get.
from the crowd
Tech hiring emphasizes qualities like: strong bias for action, eager to learn, autonomous, self-starter, comfort with ambiguity, and ability to drive projects from conception to completion.
The Solution:
Run a featured project or build your own
Self-directed and action-packed. Dive deep on a problem that intrigues you. Collaborate with outstanding peers to develop soft and hard skills, build your network, and demonstrate highly desirable traits to top startups. Coursework cannot simulate real work, and what better time to endeavor than while you're a student.
