Are you ready to do some real work?
In a real-world, “hands-on” learning scenario, Knod facilitates student meetings with potential employers, set project goals, work together to compile the deliverables, give presentations and follow up with their clients to negotiate future projects.
Benefit from real industry leaders’ expertise
We are constantly working with the leaders in most relevant industries to connect learners and employers.

Pair up with your perfect team and get the projects you want!
Knod’s amazing proprietary technologies set students on their own paths by allowing them to select the types of projects they want to work on and teams to be a part of.
By forming up with teammates of similar interests, students are goal-aligned and work together with incredible synergy to build deliverables that set precedents and impress potential employers. Many times Knoddies build life-long relationships here and go on to form trend-setting companies themselves! We can’t wait to see what you do to make a difference in our world.
Our first project experience saved 4 to 6 months of time and cost to achieve technician productivity. We organized a program to provide the interns with a real-life experience working as if they are employees. Since then, PBL projects are the key for talent development at Ricoh Malaysia.
