Inspiration

“We’re changing the world with technology” - Bill Gates

We all agree that technology has indeed concretely played a big role in advancing our life, especially in youth empowerment.

But in reality, the usage of technology has not reached its full potential, because, in Indonesia, there are still thousands of youth still unable to maximize their abilities because of the lack of access to opportunities that could develop their skills. In our high school itself, there are a lot of students with great potential. But sadly, they didn’t have the chance to sharpen their abilities simply because of the lack of information and access to gain opportunities. This appeals to our sympathy because, in the middle of abundant opportunities, they’re clueless just because of the lack of a platform that could bridge opportunities and them.

By seeing this situation, we decided to become that bridge, by creating Youthlance.

The core of the problem : Unequal access to high-quality of Information and links (exposure) and a high number of underachievers

What it does

Youthlance is an exclusive application tailored for students, providing them with opportunities to acquire authentic real-world experience and enhance their skills through active engagement in practical projects.

Operating as an online marketplace, Youthlance serves as a comprehensive platform that encompasses three distinct sections: Operating, Services, and Coursework widening the ability to access information and opportunities to reduce unequal access to high-quality information and self-development.

Through Youthlance, students can actively develop their professional skills, gain practical experience, and build a robust portfolio, all while adhering to necessary safety measures and receiving fair compensation for their efforts.

Youthlance. Learn, Earn, Influence

How we built it

We built the app by using Figma as the front-end solution.

Challenges we ran into

As the competition going on, we found some challenges such as lack of time management, lack of skills in the back-end

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We all are beginners in the beginning of the competition. Basically, we started from zero. But throughout this competition, we gained enormous progress as in skills and team work, as hard skill (in Figma) and soft skills (project management, time management, communication and many more).

What we learned

We learned to corporate with the team, especially how to maximalize the time and energy to cooperate in making the projects and try to maximalize our own potential in helping teammates in achieving the goals. We also learned so much hard skill, especially in Figma because all of us are first-timer, so it's a pretty fun yet challenging and memorable experiences.

What's next for Youthlance - Learn, Earn, Influence

Making the application with more complexity of programming and code will be our first goal to do in the future in order to make the realization of our app and maximalize the function. Our features such as coursework, service free from our paid gigs, event ads, and subscription fee will be our potential revenue to make Youthlance sustainable. So, we’re planning to upgrade the feature that we have to maximize the function and gain the purpose.

Points : Upgrading the features to maximalize the function More efficient payment system (maximalize the revenue stream for the business sustainability Forum Section Collaborate with the bigger community (local and international) for more exposure and opportunities Looking for investors to invest in our App to scale up
