What SkilledUp Lifers say
"If you're looking for a platform to break into the tech startup industry, SkilledUp Life is the place to be.
I have 4 years experience working in financial services back-office roles and used this experience to get a support volunteer role at SkilledUp Life. I gained very many hard and soft skills working with both volunteers and customers and now I made the switch to an HR Volunteer role and I'm absolutely loving it.
So for those wanting to try out a new role I highly recommend taking this leap of faith by first signing up with SkilledUp Life. It will pay off. "

I was a student in both HR and Digital Marketing when I joined SkilledUp Life. As a fresher, I faced the problem of not being able to find work because I lacked prior work experience. And then fortunately I came across a volunteering opportunity for SkilledUp Life in HR. During my three months of volunteering, I learned something new every day and worked with people who lived in various geographical locations. SkilledUp Life definitely improved my HR skills and capabilities.
I had the opportunity to volunteer for Compaira in content writing while volunteering with SkilledUp Life through SkilledUp Life. This helped me improve my content writing skills.
I'd like to say that volunteering for SkilledUp Life was one of the best decisions I've ever made because it was the first stepping stone in my career and paved the way for me to land a job as HR Assistant cum Social Media Executive even before I finished my studies.
