Why BridgEd?
After years in the technology industry, I witnessed firsthand the disconnect between what students learn in school and what the industry actually needs. I saw brilliant students from smaller cities struggle not because they lacked talent, but because they lacked exposure and guidance.
This inspired me to create BridgEd - a platform that democratizes access to career guidance and parent-child communication. Through ReachOut seminars, we bring industry leaders directly to students, and through our communication platform, we ensure parents are empowered to support their children's journey.
Our mission is simple: Every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential and every parent deserves the tools to support their child's success.
