Helping side-projects get free employees/help
Hey fellas, there are many inexperienced developers, marketers, designers that are looking to build their portfolios while helping others build their dream projects.
So here is the question:
If you are building your portfolio: Would you be willing to join a side-project to help entrepreneurs success? If yes, what would you want in exchange?
If you are an entrepreneur: Would you be willing to get help from a self-educated enthusiast that is in the stage of building their portfolio? If yes, what would you sacrifice/give to the person helping you out?

Is it open for International students or work from home? I'm an Alumni of a business school, perhaps I can help the students to enroll for the free courses and then assure them an internship based on their proficiency (obviously)
Yeah work from home is allowed.
Good English will be needed, as most companies hiring are American.
this is nice but I was thinking of a marketplace where founders post their projects and students/apprentices have to choose a project and request to join
Guessing Genm found out that having apprentices make posts increased conversions.
Not sure, I see that they are helping digital nomads learning digital marketing get hired quicker by guaranteeing a job/experience after a 12-week course.
They help anyone, they offer free marketing courses, and then let you do 3+ internships over 3 months.
Then they have a paid platform as well, you can use after you complete the internships.
The idea is one of the most complete solutions I have seen for youth and people needing retraining. Best part is no cost to the employee, unlike other companies that charge 20K+ and college/universities that change £45k+ in the UK.
