In this episode of THE EDTECH SEASON, I speak to Ben Mason, Founder of globalbridge about his career in education, how he moved into technology and about the huge impact the globalbridge product is having on both students and for their enterprise partners.

We discuss changing notions of human capital - the current value we place on education, what skills will be in demand and his advice to students, as well as how corporates can showcase their dedication to social values and talent pipelining through using this innovative service.
