How many times have you gotten inspired by a TED talk and wanted to do something...and then forgot to...or...didn't know where to start?

Now imagine a high school student whom hasn't had work experience, has been told that there are only a handful of viable careers for their future, and is trying to survive school...and TED is far away, and very expensive.

This project is:

1) A web platform that combines free information and internship recruitment: Starts in 1 city, with a transferable model to become global.

2) Has videos uploaded by organisations in the local city - length limit at 12/15 minutes.

3) Each organisation uploading a video must also have a profile, and include at least 1 internship, volunteering, or work opportunity for youth (can be rolling application basis, or seasonal)

4) Youth can also create a profile, which can be linked to a LinkedIn account if they want to increase chances of being scouted - they need to be members to see the recruitment link/e-mails

Initial content generation will be produced by the in-house team working with local organisations. Once we have around 30 videos we will launch.

Quality will be ensured through approval of submitted videos. Videos are meant to be inspirational, succinct and can use any footage pertaining to the organisation. It can be web-cam made to encourage small organisations to participate.

Security: Organisations must have verifiable information (website, executives, HR contact, etc.) to avoid scams. There will be user & viewer ratings. 

The difference is in the design & content presentation: an intuitive design interface, splash screen for local sites, and an interactive map for the global site.
