In their words
What they say after a term on it
“The coaching area is an easy place for students to help themselves, which is a big win for a small office like ours. Students really enjoy using it, and we get far fewer questions about how to find things or how to do things.”
Kimberly RyanAssociate Director of Career Services, Florida Institute of Technology
“One of the big wins from the beginning has been the badging system. It works really well, it impresses students and the rest of the university, and we've been able to use it for other events.”
Dona GaynorDirector of Career Services, Florida Institute of Technology
“We had 1,720 students check in through Career Forge at our two-day fall fair. That was awesome.”
Apryl MullinsDirector, Corporate Relations, Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, Auburn University
“We had a great event. Everything worked beautifully.”
