Empower Your Students
Position your institution to better support the career launch of your first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) college students and graduates.
Our online Career Platform complements—rather than replaces—your existing career services, offering scalable, specialized resources tailored to the unique needs of FGLI students. We offer a scalable Platform with specialized resources that may be difficult for universities to build in-house, particularly when targeting FGLI populations, all completely free of cost for you and your students.
We work closely with your team to develop a personalized engagement strategy to align with your goals for FGLI career success.

Our Resources
There are a lot of job search platforms out there. What's different about us is that everyone involved—from the volunteer Advisors, to the employers posting jobs, to our staff—are explicitly and passionately focused on career access for FGLI college students and graduates.
We partner with educational institutions across the nation to offer an array of resources for FGLI students and graduates to easily access and gain support in their career journey—focusing on four primary career development pillars that lead to future success:
-
Career Exploration
Advisees can explore different career paths and gain insights on various professions by taking our Career Interest Finder, watching videos from real-world professionals in our Career Video Library, and attending virtual career panels, such as our Career Exploration Week.
-
Skill Development
Advisees can improve their skills for searching, applying to, and interviewing for career opportunities–whether it be by reviewing guides in our Resource Toolkit, or gaining insights and guidance from our Lunch & Learn event series or meeting with a Candidate Coach.
-
Networking & Advice
Advisees gain access to our Advisor Network for professional connections that can provide them with advice, inspiration, and position them with social capital for launching their career.
-
Career Opportunities
Advisees can search and apply for early career programs, internships, or jobs with companies or organizations from our Employer Partner Network, a diverse network of allies that value FGLI talent and provide high-quality, meaningful work.
Intentional Focus on FGLI Students
There are a lot of job search platforms out there. What's different about us is that everyone involved—from the volunteer Advisors, to the employers posting jobs, to CareerSpring's staff—are explicitly and passionately focused on career access for FGLI college students and graduates.
Top Ways Our Platform Adds Value
Accessibility
No prerequisite filters like academic standing, previous leadership experience, or lengthy applications stand in the way. Our Career Platform is completely free, fully virtual, and easy to navigate.
Personalized Help
We work with every internship and job applicant through personalized outreach. Because behind the scenes, there's a dedicated Job Placement Team available to help with applications, interview prep, and targeted job matches.
More Hands on Deck
We've convened hundreds of highly credible professionals as Advisors and companies as Employers Partners. Our entire Network—the social capital, the networking opportunities, the internships and jobs—are accessible through a technological Platform that extends (or supplements) your team's efforts.
Your students gain cutting edge career access, your career services team strengthens FGLI student outreach and support, and high-quality employers tap into incredible talent from your institution. Did we mention that all of this happens for free?
