Engagement Hub

A sense of belonging is key to a student choosing where they go to school. For instance, prospective students who engage with peer ambassadors are nearly 4x more likely to enroll at that school. 

Once a student is brought into the institution’s community, they need resources to make good major decisions. Personalized connections and career exploration tools have led institutions to see a 3x increase in deposits while reducing melt.

Exposure to early career exploration leads to a higher probability of graduating with a 4-year degree. With PeopleGrove, students can take a career assessment that identifies pathways based on their interests and speeds up major selection, increasing overall motivation.

From the moment students choose a major, they need hands-on experiences that connect coursework to real-world learning—through fieldwork, internships, service projects, and other applied opportunities. These experiences build clarity, confidence, and career direction.

With 92% of students seeking one place to find and manage these experiences, PeopleGrove delivers. Our platform streamlines the experiential journey, helping institutions scale and measure opportunities that boost competency, retention, graduation rates, and career readiness.
