Turn Every Student Into a Job-Ready Professional.
Before They Graduate
Competence is a Work Experience Development Platform that partners with Universities, Schools, and Training Institutions to give students real work experience through industry hackathons, competitions, job-role assessments, and virtual internships.
What Is Competence ?

not just a learning tool.
We give students real projects and challenges from real companies, so they graduate with proof of what they can do.
