# Create Career Communities

## Creating a Career Community in uConnect starts in the dashboard by adding a new shared tag under the appropriate parent tag (such as Academic Categories, Industries, or Audience), which then becomes the foundation for that community's front-end page. Once the shared tag is created, admins can customize it with a header image, description, and either a static or dynamic template — then reach out to the uConnect team to get it added to the site's navigation menu.

**In the dashboard,** Career Communities are classified as **Communities.** You can add, delete, or edit Career Communities on your site by updating the corresponding **Communities** in the dashboard.

Communities are organized by their **Community Groups or** **parent** tag. For example, the shared tags "Accounting", "Electrical Engineering" and "Journalism" are all majors, and would therefore fall under the same Community group/parent tag. The default parent tag for majors is "**Academic Categories"**, but can be changed to reflect your organizational preferences. Meanwhile, "Students" and "Faculty" are both audience types, and would therefore fall under the default Community group/parent tag - **"Audience"**.

**Note: Community group/parent tag** have no influence on how your content displays on the front-end. They're only used to organize your content in the shared tags section of your admin dashboard. You have full autonomy to change the names of Community group/parent tag., and dictate which Community group/parent tag you want to assign to each shared tag.
