Why Career Access Matters
Students & alumni want more career support
Let Learners Try New Things
Explore > prototype > get hired
Career journeys aren’t linear, which impacts first-year students and experienced alumni alike. Both feel supported when they can discover career options, test their interests, and obtain new opportunities. PeopleGrove is the only platform that lets a university provide all this in one place.
Reinventing the Job Feed
Unlock social capital
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
To grow your community into a thriving success, we apply the successes we’ve seen with our 450+ partners. The best part? We handle all the work within the platform, so all you have to do is evangelize on your campus and pocket the accolades.
