Leverage Career Communities
What are Career Communities?
Career Communities are dedicated pages that automatically aggregate and organize content within your site — either by areas of interest (industries), by academic categories (colleges or majors), by student population or year of graduation (YOG), or by other criteria that you define.
View an example of a Career Community below, and where you can locate the same community in the backend of your dashboard.
What do they accomplish?
Career advisors want to spend more time advising students and less time manually connecting each student with the right resources. Within Career Communities, related career advice blogs, featured jobs, events, users/community experts, and resources are automatically aggregated so students and potential career contributors (or other guests) can find everything they need in order to be successful. Career advising appointments will be that much more effective when students come armed with ideas around what most inspires them.
Incorporate best practices:
We recommend starting with five to eight Career Communities — one per area of interest — and expanding from there. This gives each community enough content to stay dynamic, relevant, and current.
