today we reveal…the Wall of Fame!

By Chloe | awards and key achievement s | No Comments

All of us here at The Simplifiers wanted to take a moment and give thanks to YOU, our backers, our clients, our friends and colleagues who supported our Kickstarter.

Quite simply, you ROCK.

In case you missed it, back in January 2016, we launched a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising $10,000 to help us upgrade the software behind The Apprentice Program. Thanks to you [all 166 of you!], we smashed this goal and raised over $12,000 in just 30 days.

Now, a million thank you’s just wouldn’t be enough, so we wanted to commemorate this special occasion in an immortal format: our Wall of Fame!

If you were so kind as to support us on our mission, head on over to check out your place on our brand new Wall of Fame page.

Did you hear? With your help, we raised over $12,000 through our Kickstarter. Of course you heard…we’ve been tweeting, talking and telling (basically) everyone we meet about it all non-stop since it launched!

To celebrate and say thanks to our 166 backers, we hosted a Simplifiers party right in the heart of Nottingham, England with our UK team, complete with beer and cupcakes in a very traditional pub.

student event planners, $51 will help you land your next internship!

By Chloe | kickstarter, Millennials, SEPA | No Comments

We’ve all been there.

The stress of finding an internship…the time-consuming process of writing your resume…and then figuring out where to send it…the nerves felt during the interview…am I saying the right things, am I asking the right questions?

The pressure is mounting. The competition is fierce. The whole thing can be super stressful.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Event students, here’s your chance to learn from a master and land the internship of a lifetime!
