Career conversations happen all across campus—not just in the career center.

In fact, many students initially seek out career advice and information from faculty, staff, alumni, or even their parents.

But not all of those groups have the resources and training to provide meaningful, accurate career support. At least, not like a career services team does.

That's why Nancy Bilmes and her team at UConn launched a Career Champion program. In the last 3 years, they've recruited 500+ faculty, staff, alumni, and employers to join the program and learn how to have better career conversations with students.

Here's a detailed guide on how they did it: https://blog.gouconnect.com/how-uconn-built-a-career-champion-program

We are so proud to work with entrepreneurial leaders like Harold Bell and his team at Spelman College, who fully funded their uConnect virtual career center (and more!) through digital corporate sponsorships from Carrier, Wells Fargo, Salesforce, and Zynga.

While career service offices across the nation face budget cuts or funding restraints and struggle to engage students in the digital era, the work of Spelman's Career and Professional Development office shows the power of connecting employers to students digitally—without having to pay the costs as an office.

Here's how they do it. 👇
