More than 10,000 students a year will be given free access to career readiness support through a new partnership between HR tech company, Cappfinity, and The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS).
The initiative will give NSCS premium members unlimited access to Cappfinity’s Virtual Experience and Engagement platform (VEE). A market first, VEE provides learners with a self-paced learning journey including customized, unbiased work simulations, strengths feedback and interactive training exercises to build the vital skills in demand by top employers.
On completion, an accreditation is awarded that learners can include on their resume and share with future employers to show they are ‘Certified Career Ready.’
