BitDegree: Problems Solved by BDG

Universities are lagging far behind in the job market
Universities are failing to teach job-seeking skills, and the gap between what colleges teach and what employers want is widening. That's why BitDegree wants to close this gap by connecting learners directly with employers based on the current needs of the job market. What is BitDegree doing to fix this? Employers can sponsor learners or partner with BitDegree and tailor courses to their position.

Tech talent is expensive to acquire
The technology industry is growing rapidly and there is a constant need for employees who can do tech-related jobs. We all know that the key to any successful tech company is the talent it manages to attract. Even as workers in the IT and technology industries are getting better salaries, such incentives are no longer proving to be enough to find the best employees who are loyal to their companies.

BitDegree offers company-endorsed scholarships that allow companies to designate and create courses to attract potential employees who do not yet have the required knowledge. After completing the course, the learners are gathered in a pool and companies can select the motivated candidates who are the best fit for them. Companies can also become partners to explore more ways to find the real talent they need.

Low Completion Rates for Online Courses
People learning online lose motivation. One of the ways to improve student retention is to use gamification during learning. And, by introducing many small incentives, it is possible to make learning fun. Through gamification, it is possible to capture the attention of students at the beginning of learning and keep their attention throughout.

BitDegree, in partnership with Vilnius University, researched what motivates students to enroll and complete courses. And working with the Octalysis group on various gamification techniques we can implement to keep users motivated and ready to learn more.

Education is Expensive
The price of education is constantly increasing. A large portion of the population has to divide their time between studying or working. However, this still leaves people with a lot of debt. The high price of education, combined with a lack of incentives, causes people to lose motivation and drop their studies.
The BitDegree price model focuses on providing affordable quality education to the masses. BitDegree also offers a range of free courses. BitDegree also offers micro-scholarships for online students if you can't find a free course and don't have enough funds to purchase a paid course.

BitDegree wants to revolutionize education by making learning fun and rewarding. Focus on digital skills such as programming/web development/business/game development and other digital skills, is a strong contender in the education market.

With a unique business model, the platform provides people with learning resources and provides incentives to encourage community cooperation to solve various problems, BitDegree is committed to empowering those who previously did not have access to high-quality, affordable education or did not have the ability The capacity of educated people.

At the same time, BitDegree is creating a community where users are encouraged to help other students or share their skills and knowledge with the community. People all over the world can share their knowledge, earn BDG tokens and reuse them when learning other skills.

BitDegree analyzed certification availability and prices, scholarship availability, value offered to scholarship sponsors, and the level of gamification used in the educational process.
