About Cole
Cole is passionate about connecting students with careers they'll love.
Cole discovered a passion for coding early in life and hasn’t looked back since. In contrast, nearly half of American high school seniors report not being certain of a career choice, and 75% of college students change their major at least once. Inspired by these disturbing statistics, as well as other obvious pain points in school management and campus safety concerns, Cole founded Edugate.
