The integration will also allow individuals to recommend vocations based on personality types, explore local job markets, build resumes, and apply for jobs through one, easy-to-use platform.

“Coaching, mentoring, and guiding students who may not have mapped out their career direction and corresponding academic program yet are core responsibilities for advisors. The integration between our student information system and Emsi’s Career Coach will support that collaboration through a single application,” said Jeff Elliott, Director of Product Management at Jenzabar. “By pointing to real-world data, advisors will have that spark to engage with students and deliver more personalized career advice and support for students.”
