Students will be given a chance to intern at one of the leading blockchain firms in the world
Blockchain financial technology firm Global Digital Assets (GDA) has announced a partnership with the Blockchain Education Network (BEN) based on its recruitment capabilities. Through the collaboration, GDA hopes to empower new talent with the best resources and opportunities while gaining access to the best talent in the industry.
BEN is an invaluable blockchain resource for students from the world’s top educational institutions including Harvard, Cambridge, McGill, and MIT. Its international community has educated students, professors, and alumni since 2014 on the importance of blockchain technology through forums and meetups, special access to conferences and hackathons, and a comprehensive library of educational content.
“The adoption of blockchain technology is mostly a matter of education. As a new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs comes up, we believe that we have the responsibility to educate them on the opportunities they have to build a better financial future. Our partnership with GDA ensures that what they learn doesn’t just come from books but from taking action.” – BEN Director of Operations Antonio Gomes.
Now, these students will get the chance to connect with GDA, a global leader in the blockchain industry. As part of the partnership, select students from the BEN’s program will be offered internship opportunities that will give them unparalleled hands-on experiences in the space. This is part of GDA’s effort in bridging the educational gap between traditional finance and digital assets.
“We’re always looking for new talent and the best way to find it is through these kinds of partnerships with leading networks such as BEN. As the blockchain space continues to evolve, we want to support the education of the next generation and show them what it can mean to them. We also want to make sure that the top creators and entrepreneurs find their way to the right resources so that they can help us unlock the potential of this technology.” – GDA SVP Global Growth Joaquim Miro.
“My participation in the Blockchain Education Network while in University was the single best way that I was able to immerse myself in the global blockchain industry and I credit a significant part of my personal success and that of GDA to the exposure and opportunities that BEN provided me. We are honoured to have come full circle and to now be an official corporate partner of BEN and to be able to support the next generation of leaders of the network in their journey entering the blockchain universe.” – GDA Capital CEO and co-founder Michael Gord.
Both GDA and BEN are focused on introducing the financial leaders of tomorrow to the potential of recent developments in blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and decentralized finance. Partnerships such as theirs are set to push the industry forward with a long-term outlook that will empower future generations.
