Experiential learning leads to career readiness.
The number one reason learners enroll in college is career.¹ And universities can prepare students to be career ready, just as well as they prepare students to be leaders, researchers, scholars, and fellows. For success beyond college, universities need to help students apply their studies to the real working world. That’s where relationship-rich, work-integrated experiences come in.
The Career Connection
Internships, undergraduate research, and other experiential learning opportunities can deepen classroom learning and improve academic outcomes. And even after students earn their diplomas, these High-Impact Practices (HIPs) improve the likelihood that graduates — especially those from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds — will land jobs.
Every student should have access to these life-changing opportunities. And they should be easier for universities to offer them and measure their impact.
Black and Hispanic graduates are significantly more likely to get a good job after graduation if they have an internship²
Work-Integrated Experiences
With PeopleGrove, campuses can make it easy to participate in HIPs. They’ll get the chance to experience the work their studies are preparing them for and verify if they’ve chosen the right path. Plus, Student Projects for companies like Amazon or UnitedHealth build resumes that open doors. When every student can bolster their degree with real world experience, universities can level the playing field for traditionally underserved/marginalized students.
Person-to-Person Career Connections
To successfully land their first destination, learners need hands-on experience and relationships too. Inside PeopleGrove, students (and alumni seeking career support) are connected to career exploration content and working alumni. Smart technology teaches learners how to network with alumni and use them as a resource for building an academic plan that prepares them for the workforce. Students end up with more career confidence, social capital, and a college experience that bridges the gap between the classroom and career.
Students overwhelmingly recognize building a network will help their careers, studies show.
“The experiential learning project has given me a first hand glance into what a marketing project would look like. This makes me happy to see that this is exactly what a marketing team would be working on. The whole idea to get a masters in marketing was for me to be able to go and get a job to work on a project such as the one Beyer presented to us.”

It was really cool being able to connect directly with people who have followed the career path that I intend to take, and hearing their thoughts on what I should do in the future.
