Building Career Confidence
What's lacking elsewhere? People.
It’s one thing to read about a job on paper. It’s another to actually discuss what doing that job everyday is like. That’s the next level of career education. And unlike other platforms and job boards, only PeopleGrove makes access to people who hold those jobs – from within a university’s welcoming community – a part of the career exploration experience.
Learners can self-explore real resumes, alumni profile videos, and career trajectories.
No question should feel too taboo to ask. Learners get honest answers about money and life in a safe space.
