What can higher education do to better prepare and support gig workers so they can thrive in the gig economy? Twenty colleges participated in this year-long pilot, which sought to prepare students for careers in the gig economy, particularly as freelancers and independent contractors. The pilot tasked each college with designing and delivering a three-course program, the first of which focused on how to run a small business, including basic topics like licensing, insurance, and taxes.
The second course explored how to use online freelancing platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, through which students could learn how to choose a platform, how to secure work opportunities, and when to walk away from jobs. The third course was experiential, allowing students to work one-on-one with a mentor who provided business planning and consulting support and guided students to launch or improve their own business. Colleges could offer courses on a stand-alone basis or embed them into existing, relevant, for-credit courses.
