The education model of confinement to the walls of a traditional classroom is becoming more and more obsolete. Online education continues to increase in popularity and use as individuals crave freedom and flexibility in their lives. Programs such as International Career Institute provide students with educational opportunities that can be pursued from virtually anywhere with access to the internet.
Upwork
Parallels between International Career Institute and Upwork should not go unnoticed. As the number one freelance platform in the world, Upwork connects clients and freelancers, allowing both parties to complete necessary business tasks without very strict confines. Word-of-mouth, results from satisfied Upwork users, and the rise of the gig economy each account for why this platform appeals to a diverse range of workers.
According to 2019’s Freelancing in America study conducted by Freelancer’s Union and Upwork, 77% of freelancers agree that technology makes their jobs easier. Moreover, the 57 million Americans who freelanced in 2019 marks a significant jump from that of 53 million in 2014.
DoorDash
While platforms like International Career Institute and Upwork certainly indicate the presence of the fourth industrial revolution, this revolution extends beyond the educational sector. DoorDash, a popular food delivery service, has also become increasingly popular over the years. With a simple download of an app, consumers can easily become DoorDash drivers who deliver food or customers who order food via the app.
