"We're also an extension of their office. We truly are partners with the career center, an addition to their employer relations team, helping them to prove the value of the education their institution provides. That's why we're so excited about this new partnership with uConnect as it offers schools a way to effortlessly showcase the work of career services and highlight their first-destination and employment outcomes data, gathered through our technology, to prospective students, parents, media, and the general public."

uConnect is a higher education marketing platform that makes it easy for schools to dynamically promote the employer, internship, job and career outcomes data that is already stored in the GradLeaders platform. Using GradLeaders APIs and uConnect's white-labeled public-facing platform, career centers and admissions offices can leverage these real-time data points to help current students and prospective students make more informed decisions about their career pathways.

"In the largest study of enrolled students, 86% of recently enrolled students said that 'career advancement' was the critical factor in their decision to enroll. We're excited to help schools leverage their career data and highlight potential career pathways for students to help differentiate their programs while helping students make more informed decisions.
