Over the world there is a problem there are a large of companies without experience, they need qualified employees in several areas but is difficult to hire due to lack of resources since they have yet to establish their brand, college graduates prefer big companies with experience. And the other hand, there are a lot of qualified college graduates crave hands-on business experience to learn how to start a business, but they have to struggle to be hire because they don’t have experience.
'We are a community of builders with integrity. We are a team of dedicated professionals working hard to '''create a better future'''. We are a collective of supporters, advisors, and leaders who '''believe that entrepreneurship changes lives''', strengthens communities and makes those who take the leap better versions of themselves.'

What the program do is we recruit top grads. It brings the fellows to a training camp for five weeks at Brown University. It brings in entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, McKenzie, IDO to help train them in what it takes to build a company. And then the fellows work in startup companies in Detroit, New Orleans, Providence, Cincinnati and eight other U.S.cities for two years. And at the end of those two years they’ll have a sense of how the se businesses grow and develop.

[[File:Andrew Yang.jpg|frame]]Graduating from Columbia Law School, Andrew Yang was conflicted with what to do for his career. &nbsp;As with many other young professionals, Yang knew the options outside of working on Wall Street were slim and likely career-diverting. &nbsp;After working with, and starting several companies (rising to the rank of CEO in Manhattan GMAT), Yang founded Venture for America, to increase the accessibility to the start-up process for college graduates.[[File:Andrew Yang.jpg|border]]
The problem today is that ''qualified college graduates crave hands-on business experience'' to learn how to start a business. &nbsp;Meanwhile, ''start-up companies struggle to hire due to lack of resources'' since they have yet to establish their brand. &nbsp;'''Venture for America bridges this gap; the organization gives companies access to high quality, motivated young workers.'''
*<span style="color:#0000ff;">Impact on Community</span> - start ups in areas of need will receive talented recent graduates, renewal of economy and culture, and creation of jobs by the growth of these start ups and the graduates becoming job creators themselves
