Partnership to Strengthen the Connection Between Higher Learning
and Recent Alumni
BOSTON, MA & OVERLAND PARK, KS--(Business Wire)--Experience, Inc., (www.experience.com) and iModules Software, Inc.
(www.imodules.com), respectively the nation's leading providers of
career services and online communities for alumni, today announced a
partnership that will combine the established employer relationships
and career resources developed by Experience with the comprehensive
community tools offered by iModules. The result will enable iModules'
clients to integrate Experience's customizable career management tools
within their online communities.
"This partnership with Experience will strengthen the Career
Center features of our online community platform, Encompass," says
Thomas Palmer, co-founder and executive chairman of iModules Software.
"Our mission is to help institutions build and maintain connections
with their alumni and post-graduate career services are important in
delivering value well after graduation."
"iModules is the premier provider of online community solutions in
the college and university space," says Jennifer Floren, founder and
CEO of Experience. "Through this partnership, iModules customers will
be able to leverage Experience's career-focused content and
opportunities to address a key need of their constituents."
Addressing the College Graduate's Demand for Career Services
A recent study found more than 80 percent of recent graduates felt
institutional career services were important to their post-graduate
success. Given that recent graduates are likely to change jobs and/or
career paths one to three years after graduation, college and
university career centers and alumni associations are in a great
position to engage their constituents with career advice, job
opportunities and alumni networking; all of which strengthen the
connection between the institution and alumni.
Customization and Configuration Made Easy
The Experience and iModules partnership will allow iModules'
clients to enhance its Career Center offering by delivering
personalized job opportunities, career related content and messaging
specific to the needs and profiles of individual users of online
communities. This capability is made possible using the Encompass
WebServices API, which provides access to authenticated partners and
internal development teams.
Furthermore, the jobs/content/messaging modules within an
Experienced-powered Career Center will link to the Experience Network,
giving constituents the ability to create career portfolios and
subscribe to relevant newsletters and other industry content via
email, RSS and/or SMS text. Alumni will enjoy enhanced networking with
fellow alumni, mentors and employers, and will have the ability to
post opportunities to other alumni at no charge. Administrators will
enjoy seamless Experience/iModules data integration and have the
ability to track and manage activity.
