Why Upthrive
The gap isn't what you know.
It's what recruiters can see.
You already have the projects: coursework, organization work, competitions, freelance gigs. Upthrive is a four-week program that turns them into evidence a recruiter can scan in seconds and you can explain out loud in English.
By the end of four weeks you leave with
- 01
English CV.
Update your experience using the template and guidance provided by Upthrive, so recruiters can scan it and see the impact.
- 02
Pathway portfolio.
Present relevant work using the provided portfolio structure and what mentors in your pathway expect to see.
- 03
Professional English practice.
Use the interview simulator to practice explaining your skills, experience, and portfolio work in English.
- 04
Track Mentor feedback.
Discuss your CV, past work, and portfolio direction in a small-group clinic with a pathway-specific Track Mentor.
No minimum English level. No work experience required. Any major, as long as you have one or two projects in your pathway.
