HOW IT WORKS 

1. CREATE

Students create a profile showcasing everything about themselves: skills, talents, experiences and more. To sign up students will need to provide an email address, contact information, and school information. Additional information that can be added to the student's profile includes: test scores, college admissions information, videos, leadership/community service activities, and videos.

2. SEARCH

Schools and companies search for, identify, and track the next generation of college and career-ready talent.

3. CONNECT

Conversations are exchanged between talent seekers and upcoming students--establishing direct connections earlier.

4. THRIVE

Relationships are built, students discover new opportunities, and colleges and companies deepen their future talent pipeline.
