Abstract

Most college graduates struggle to find a job after graduation. Indeed, the job search engine, published an article discussing the reasons behind this—three big reasons being: little experience, few to no skills, and lack of networking (Indeed.com)1. It is a daunting task to find like-minded people interested in working on a variety of projects. Even if you are looking for a simple real-world side project to develop your skills, there are few places you can turn to in your search. "Mission Source" is a platform that aims to solve this problem. The users can go on this platform to find people to collaborate with, seek help with a side project, look for a hackathon group, and other similar activities. The platform is open to all colleges and majors that attend the same university. With access to such a platform, students can gain experience, develop new skills, and expand their networking group.
