The first all-in-one virtual career center. Making career services accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
About us
uConnect built the first all-in-one virtual career center platform designed to radically improve student engagement. Our mission is to empower the next generation to realize their full potential by improving access to career resources, networks, and opportunities—early in their lives and throughout their careers. Over 90% of students enrolling in college indicated that employment was their primary or sole motivation, yet half of U.S. college students graduate without ever having used career services or its online resources. uConnect's virtual career center combines career content management and modern student communication to improve visibility, accessibility, and utilization of high-impact career services for students, faculty, and the campus community. Schools like MIT, Arizona State, Yale, University of Florida, and UCLA use uConnect to elevate the role of career services to a strategic competitive advantage to inspire purposeful pathways from education to employment. Developed directly from the experience of our founder, uConnect is deeply committed to ensuring every young person can access the career information and support they need to succeed, regardless of their age, what school they go to, or where they are from. uConnect is backed by leading education technology investors, including Strada Education, LearnLaunch, and Growth Street Partners.

Ep. 55 of the Career Everywhere podcast is live! 🎙 Featuring Gerald Tang, Ed.D. of Bridgewater State University for a discussion about his top five elements for effective change management in career services. The five elements include: 1. People: Understand the strengths, management styles, and buy-in of the individuals involved in the change process. 2. Culture and environment: Assess the organizational culture, hidden rules, shared values, and dynamics among key leadership. 3. Time: Consider the timing of the change and any external factors that may impact its implementation. 4. Vision and leadership: Reflect on your own leadership style and vision, and ensure that you communicate a clear direction to others. 5. Resources: Evaluate the resources needed to execute the change, including people, finances, technology, and physical space. Gerald, who’s worked in higher education for 18 years, shares some examples of how he’s managed change in his current and past leadership roles, his advice for others, and more.
