uConnect built the first all-in-one virtual career center platform designed to radically improve student engagement. Our mission is to empower the next generation to realize their full potential by improving access to career resources, networks, and opportunities—early in their lives and throughout their careers. Over 90% of students enrolling in college indicated that employment was their primary or sole motivation, yet half of U.S. college students graduate without ever having used career services or its online resources. uConnects virtual career center combines career content management and modern student communication to improve visibility, accessibility, and utilization of high-impact career services for students, faculty, and the campus community. Schools like MIT, Arizona State, Yale, University of Florida, and UCLA use uConnect to elevate the role of career services to a strategic competitive advantage to inspire purposeful pathways from education to employment. Developed directly from the experience of our founder, uConnect is deeply committed to ensuring every young person can access the career information and support they need to succeed, regardless of their age, what school they go to, or where they are from. uConnect is backed by leading education technology investors, including Strada Education, LearnLaunch, and Growth Street Partners.
