Small shares how he sees technology changing the way educational institutions prepare students for the workforce. 

Highlights from our conversation include:

1.Students are placing more and more emphasis on employability, and they want to know how universities will prepare them for the workforce and want opportunities to gain work experience through internships and experiential learning. 
2. Symplicity helps bridge the gap between students, employers, and post-secondary institutions. The platform has quality jobs that are easy for students to find and apply to, leading to better employment outcomes for students.
