At Golden Path Solutions, we’re all about helping students plan their futures – and now, we’re expanding that mission to include college students too!
Thanks to partnerships with regional colleges, Compass now connects employers like you with both high school and college students. With just one Compass account, you can share your company profile, work culture, photos, videos, opportunities, and Career Profiles with an expanded audience. You can easily post your items for all students or customize specific opportunities for either high school students or college students.
Here’s how to make the most of the work you’ve already done in Compass and extend your reach.
3 easy ways to engage college students in Compass
1. Post internships
Do you already offer high school work-based learning experiences in Compass? Great! Just copy those opportunities, update them as internships for college students, select “college students” for the audience, and hit publish. Some colleges are using Compass to connect local students with local employers, while others are using Handshake. Contact us for help identifying who uses what and how posting internships in Handshake can complement your Career Profiles in Compass.
2. Promote Career Profiles
If you’re a member, your Career Profiles can now reach college students. Career Profiles are a great way to share specific careers at your company, required skills, incentives like tuition reimbursement, and more. Simply update the audience for your current Career Profiles in Compass to include college students. You can then share the Career Profile URL directly with students through your social media accounts, website, marketing materials, and more.
3. Create college events
Are you hosting an upcoming on-site visit or recruiting event? Now you can invite college students and educators directly through Compass. Share your company, internships, and careers through engaging events!
Employer memberships now feature expanded college reach
We’re also excited to extend the value of our paid memberships to incorporate colleges and college students.
- Awareness Membership employers can now share Career Profiles with students who are closer to entering the workforce. It’s easy to highlight careers that match the college programs you want your future employees to know about and share incentives like tuition reimbursement. Plus, you can use our marketing tools and share your employer Compass profile and Career Profiles URLs directly with students.
- Connections Memberships now include introductions to college students. The Compass student opt-in process makes it easy for us to personally visit with students, learn more about their skills and goals, and introduce them to you if they are a good fit.
- Premium and Partnership Memberships now support a full strategy, from creating awareness of careers in middle school all the way to providing internships and careers for college students.
With just a few small updates, you can start reaching college students in Compass today. If you have any questions or need help in Compass, you can reach us at info@goldenpath.net.
