Should LinkedIn cater to the student community? If yes, How?
Metrics
  • Daily Active Users who are students
  • Average Time Spent by the User in a day
  • Number of connections made per student in a day
Approach
Understanding the pain points of the student community, and solving their problems using LinkedIn’s existing network and functional capability.
LinkedIn is a platform reserved for professionals. But it does not cater to higher education students who are stepping into the professional world. The market size of the student community is estimated and study on competitive forces is done. The domain of which student community and LinkedIn’s member network can be catered to is analyzed and their respective pain points are explored. Potential solutions solving the pain points are recommended and their fit into LinkedIn’s mission and existing competency is analyzed.
Recommendations
Connecting students with the industry veterans in LinkedIn for career/project mentorship
  • Students can list their projects on their profiles which will listed on a ‘project listing’ page, where all the projects of all the students seeking mentorship will be listed
  • Industry Veterans can show their availability by adding the ‘Available for mentorship’ tag. The profile of all the mentors will be listed on the ‘Mentors listing’ page.
  • Either students can request to the industry veterans for mentorship or the industry veterans can show their interest for mentorship
  • Increased advertisement revenue from more engagement due to increase in Daily Active Users
