Career Forge

We've been quietly working on a new home for Career Fair Plus, and it's finally live.

The new page is a big step up visually. We wanted something that actually shows what the product feels like to use, not just describes it. So you'll see real screenshots, real event flows, and a cleaner way to explore what CF+ does.

If you run career events or work with teams that do, take a look. We'd love to know what you think.

✔️ EL as a graduation requirement
✔️ Student-first coaching workflows
✔️ Less noise, more relevant jobs
✔️ Tech that fits how you actually work

We had a fantastic time attending the Career Education Colleges and Universities North American Career Education Convention this week!

It was our first time, and we’re grateful for how welcoming and thoughtful everyone was. We heard a lot of interest in tracking outcomes, and we’re proud that Career Forge’s Graduation and Employment Data module is built specifically with vocational schools in mind.

Looking forward to seeing many of you again at NACE!
