Title:
International Education Recruitment Algorithm
Agreement Number:
916310
Agreement Value:
$225,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 1, 2018 - Oct 31, 2019
Description:
Zept's mission is to help international students get into the best schools possible. We have indexed all Canadian university and college programs. A student can enter high school grades and select what they want to study and we will recommend the schools that are a good match. When a student likes a school, we notify that school and give them a chance to reach out to the student. We would like to explore long term success of students (do they graduate? what careers do they get?), and find ways to bring data back into our matching algorithm. The ultimate goal of this project is to bring back as many data points as we can into our machine learning library so that we build an algorithm that continues to improve the more it is used.
