The PeopleGrove Difference
The most helpful career network ever created
It’s no secret the #1 reason students pursue higher education is to get the best job they can. We also know alumni will continue to look to your institution for career assistance, long after graduation.
So, what’s the best way to offer the support both are looking to you for? Leaning on a social network of alumni might be the easy answer, but, to be successful, your students and alumni need more. What they're looking for is what only PeopleGrove can deliver at scale: a Career Access Platform™.

Why Career Access Matters

Who wants to scroll through feeds of advertisements when looking for help? PeopleGrove is the easiest way for students and alumni to get jobs, connecting learners to not just openings, but also to insider alumni who are waiting to help learners get offers.
Unite the Entire Campus Online
Adoption + engagement + evangelization = growth
