Choose the right first engagement
Stage 1 is a one-on-one learning conversation with a student or a faculty member. It creates value with very limited logistics.
Pick the topic based on what the teacher teaches or what the student is curious about—a teacher improving their curriculum and a student exploring a career path need different conversations.
Real example
A twenty-minute call with a busy engineering manager fits their schedule far better than hosting a group on site.
Key takeaway: The best entry point is the one an employer can do well.
