-- -- path bright which is a real meat company can you tell us a little bit about half right.

Sure it's say digital portfolio technology that lets people show holistic -- All of their capabilities and -- actually be evidence of their skills.

To potential employer so if you haven't -- you basically put a picture of your diploma on the website.

We actually can embed secure copies of diplomas PD yes we -- our un tampered with.

Diplomas transcripts.

So you can use that kind of hard secure copies of evidence of your achievements.

Can even -- -- test scores.

And you can also in bed then more qualitative evidence of work product you've actually delivered such as articles you've written.

Perhaps video clips of training -- delivered.

Ten media sales team or what have you so any digitize.

Way for you to showcase and who -- seizing and that's.

Who's using -- so we have right we have a lot of college students right now using our portfolios and where in many different universities.

And these students are.

Taking all the evidence of what they've learned both in the classroom and an after school jobs and other places and showing their capabilities.

Off to employers OK so employers are actually.

The hat and my question is how does it work.

-- a note to get this information to an employer or did they say hey update our site which is -- nonsense sank.

So -- can go either way so first the volume can start by creating a path right portfolio.

And -- can start to add content it's very easy when you go online yet for the -- portfolio up a bank and and you add content and you pull it in from your hard drive.

From many different locations.

Could be from Google docs could be from your FaceBook account could be from many different places.

For example with Stanford you can actually select transcripts.

And pull the men from your Stamford accounts.

We have an integration with them and you can -- your diplomas or your transcript OK so and -- I'm grad goes to apply to know FaceBook.

Had -- FaceBook know about the profile.

So -- we knew would respond to.

The job description.

They would be able to email the portfolio directly to I manager at the chairperson low -- and then also get.

They can also -- can also post their portfolios on their linked to an account move on to their FaceBook account.

Or even -- that their portfolios out.

Yea it's interesting he's really say make sure -- -- comes to life you have this one page -- -- tell us about yourself and your company is a way to show us.

Really visually everything that you've done and you know could be good for -- for employers to maybe the fact checking.

Part of of vetting -- -- is reduced because it's like well she said these were -- -- for -- and yet there they are.

You know well and that's it it's it's really designed with the value -- the employer and -- Because what you're able to do is.

At one sitting see all the evidence of what this person has really done.

And you can actually see the evidence of their work.

Without having to track down different pieces from different locations.

Right thing you can see test scores you can see sample code they've written -- an engineer software engineer.

You can -- sample.

Writing you can see how they present to a group how -- interface with -- really any kind of evidence and -- can look at it all one in one location.
