Networking EventsConnect students with the best and

brightest alumni from your university, or get to know students in

a more informal setting. Students can find internships, jobs, introductions

and mentorship opportunities.

Virtual Career Fairs*Large scale or boutique virtual career fairs can connect students in real-time with employers. A great compliment to your existing in-person career fair

engagement.

Resume ReviewStaff your event with career center

employees, alumni, student volunteers and outside experts. When students connect with an

expert they will have 5 to 15 minutes to ask questions and have their resume critiqued in real-time.

DevelopmentInvite your alumni to chat with staff,

students, other alumni and your development team from the comfort

of their office or home. After the event, follow up via phone or email.

Post Webinar ChatSend students to a post-webinar chat

where they can connect with the webinar presenter and other

attendees to discuss and debate the topic of the day.

Virtual MeetupsCompliment your in-person meet-ups

across the country with virtual meetups that allow alumni from

coast-to-coast, and even worldwide, to chat in real-time.

Cross-Major CollaborationFacilitate exciting new projects

through cross-major collaboration. For example create new businesses by matching students in engineering with students in the business school.

Career CoachingStaff your event with professional career coaches or accomplished

alumni to answer student questions, and coach them on best practices in applying for jobs and interviewing.

Employer Information SessionStudents can connect directly with employers at custom open house

events that showcase the breadth of a company’s career opportunities.

FLEXIBLE AND ALL-ENCOMPASSING.
