Working while studying can be complicated, if not impossible, to fit into a student's schedule. Yet many need this job to live and continue their studies. Ouriel Darmon found a solution with Student Pop.

Studying to work, and working to study. This is the contradiction faced by many students. Their studies take up a large part of their schedule, but if they want to pay their rent, eat, and have some leisure time, it is sometimes necessary for them to have a job on the side.

On paper, it seems simple, but in reality, it requires splitting their schedule in two to find time for everything. Additionally, many companies do not offer flexible hours, especially those that do not adapt to the students' priority: studying.

So, Ouriel Darmon and his team developed Student Pop to help them find temporary jobs that match their interests and fit their fluctuating schedules through an app. This combats student precariousness while allowing students to continue studying and gradually open up to the working world.

For instance, if a student wants to work only in the evenings from 6 PM to 8 PM and not on weekends, suitable assignments will be offered to them.

Moreover, these jobs align with their personalities, as a test is required beforehand to understand their needs and desires.

Our guest provides proof that working while studying is entirely compatible through several concrete examples.


Ouriel explains during this interview how and why it is important to work while studying.

Thus, Ouriel Darmon strives to create a positive impact in this area.
