Qeyno Labs works with local partners and schools to bring technology-enabled career discovery into under-served classrooms using game-like rewards and mentorship from real-life professionals.

Qeyno makes "career day" an everyday experience for the 40+ million students that can't afford private college and career guidance. Students earn badges, win prizes, internships, and scholarships endorsed through the $124 billion talent acquisition market spending by non-profits and companies.

Problem

26% of US high school seniors paid private college and career consultants anywhere from $8K to $40K. What happens to the rest of the 74%? The 74% are forced to scour the web looking for antiquated resources produced by government agencies or non-profit organizations who don't think fast enough on their feet. Whatever is produced by these groups isn't updated or iterated quickly enough to keep up with career trends. For the aforementioned 74%, even at their own schools, the career counselor to student ratio can range from 1 to 500 or a 1000. For most of them, sixty minutes - twice a year is all the formal career counseling they get besides there being no metrics and tracking data available to schools that track results. While our economy demands a smarter workforce to be produced at broadband speeds, American classrooms are stuck at 33.6K dial-up speed in preparing them. Career discovery is important because 65% of children entering grade school this year will end up working in careers that haven't been invented yet, so they aren't being adequately prepared. 81% of US high school dropouts report that they would have stayed in school if it were relevant to their lives. Kids who fail to connect scholastic achievement with exciting, lucrative, challenging opportunities have zero motivation to work their butts off in higher demanding school work and short to long-term goal setting. Could motivation for a great career profoundly impact classroom learning? Absolutely.
