For more than a decade, uConnect has partnered with colleges and universities to grow student engagement with career services. That mission hasn’t changed, but expectations around connecting engagement to outcomes have.
Through years of working alongside institutions, one pattern has become increasingly clear in the data: schools that consistently engage students with career resources early and often see stronger outcomes across the board. Higher persistence. Better post-graduate results. Stronger enrollment narratives.
In this webinar just for uConnect customers, you’ll learn how the Virtual Career Center (VCC) is evolving to help career services teams increase engagement, understand it at scale, and connect it directly to outcomes, all while making the work easier and more strategic.
You’ll get an inside look at what’s coming next for the Virtual Career Center, including early insights into upcoming enhancements and how they’ll support your work over time.
What we’ll cover:
