Cultivating peer feedback culture within a student community.
The skills gap among graduates has become a big concern for the majority of the modern workforce. Traditional schools have not prioritized teaching practical skills with a balance of hard and soft skills for students. This has led to large demographics of students experiencing overwhelming difficulties in fulfilling all the requirements to prepare for the ever- changing job market.
Rockit is a peer-to-peer skills sharing platform that encourages students with various skill sets to learn from and grow with each other. It aims to help fast learning and fosters a healthy as well as inclusive learning culture by valuing each skill and each member of the community equally. Unlike other platforms, Rockit focuses on students' personalized skills-set as they relate to their specific career goals.
