Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technology has transformed how students acquire, share, and monetize skills, creating a demand for tailored platforms that cater to academic and professional development. This project, Design and Implementation of Students Skill Sharing and Freelancing Platform, responds to this shift by leveraging digital tools to bridge gaps in peer collaboration and freelance opportunities. The rise of remote work, gig economies, and digital literacy has made traditional skill-exchange methods obsolete, necessitating an integrated online solution. The platform enables students to showcase expertise, bid on projects, and collaborate securely within their academic ecosystem. By aligning with trends in digital entrepreneurship and decentralized learning, this project not only empowers students to capitalize on their skills but also reflects the broader movement toward technology-driven education.
