Kaplan Career Core is the first example of a shared career service across multiple universities allowing for both highly-personalized and high-scale work readiness to prepare students for whatever’s next. This innovative model provides valuable career services and resources difficult for individual universities to offer, equipping students for their first jobs and ongoing career success.
It features access to generalist and industry-specific career coaches and an academically rigorous, asynchronous career education curriculum. Developed in partnership with Wake Forest University, this pioneering model enhances schools’ existing career programs with complementary capabilities, enabling them to meaningfully improve their career services affordably and efficiently, while still providing a flexible and tailored program.
Career Core’s self-paced online curriculum is divided into three phases to help students examine, explore and apply. Courses include world-class video content focused on personal and professional development, as well as self-assessment plans for career discovery. The engaging content is all in digestible learning units for thoughtful exploration.
Live, interactive group coaching sessions for in-demand fields including data science, technology, and finance, are available including on nights and weekends, meeting students where they are. This guidance helps students identify career goals and prepares them for a confident entrance into the professional world. Career Core coaches come from diverse backgrounds to mirror the diversity of students.
Schools receive real-time data, including enrollment, page views, and coaching sessions scheduled. Student satisfaction surveys, administered after live coaching sessions and completed learning journeys, have an average score of 4.8 out of 5.
For these reasons and more, Career Core from Kaplan earned a Cool Tool Award (finalist) for “Best Career Planning Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
