Aljeena, Amandeep and Devashree share from their experiences on how they learned from the people they
were hoping to serve and the teams and partnerships that made it possible.
Aljeena Qureshi | Founder of
Skillsphere
The idea of Skillsphere appeals to many individuals - I just need to
approach the problem differently. This will impact my future thinking,
performance or services by making me consider the motivations behind
my target audience more thoroughly and market better in order to attain
better results.
Having a core team of 10-15 people is crucial in order to effectively plan
anything. I value teamwork to a much higher degree than before as a result of this project.
Skillsphere is a youth-led start-up that focuses on educating youth between
12 and 18 years old about real-world skills.
