Workin’ Grad
About us
Workin’ Grad was started by two friends who met in grad school. We built this platform out of frustration because smart, hardworking students shouldn’t have to live in poverty to do important research. This is our way of making grad school sustainable.
For Businesses
As a business owner, you’re constantly juggling tasks, from marketing to finances and research. But there’s just not enough time in the day. When it comes to specialized work like data analysis, research, or technical writing, you need more than just time; you need someone you can trust to get it done right. However, expert consultants can be cost prohibitive to small companies with smaller budgets, and traditional freelance marketplaces don’t guarantee expert-quality advice.
That’s where Workin’ Grad comes in. We connect you with highly skilled graduate students who are experts in their fields. They’re motivated, reliable, and cost-effective, giving you access to high-level knowledge without the premium consulting price tag.
Verified Expertise
Access graduate students trained at leading institutions and working across a range of fields, from the humanities to business and STEM.
Affordable Solutions
Hire talent at rates lower than traditional consulting; perfect for startups, nonprofits, and smaller businesses.
Flexible Support
From short-term problem-solving to longer collaborations, we’ll match you with the right expert for your needs.
For Students
Being a grad student is financially stressful. However, between irregular schedules and heavy workloads, taking on a traditional side job often isn’t realistic. Even worse, once you graduate, limited applied experience can make it harder to land the job you want, exacerbating these financial difficulties.
Workin’ Grad is a new platform designed to help graduate students earn extra income, gain relevant industry experience, and build stronger resumes, all while maintaining the flexibility you need to succeed in your degree.
