More Than “Just a Website”
uConnect has developed the best-in-class virtual career center platform specifically designed to support Career Services operations at scale with over a quarter million lines of proprietary code. The virtual career center is much more than “just a website,” and replicating it is simply not practical.

Instant Content
- Proprietary Content Feeds
uConnect maintains a vast library of API, RSS, CSV, XML, and iCal integrations that provides free, automatic content imported from up to 90 content partners (some of which provide exclusive content through uConnect). This removes the burden of sourcing content from your career team. - Proprietary Content Formatting
Each content provider sends their content slightly differently. uConnect corrects markup issues and enables many non-standard media embeds directly in the page like Google Docs & Kaltura videos to ensure seamless imports. - Plug-and-Play Licenses
uConnect leverages more than a dozen career services subscriptions to automatically integrate their content, including Anthology, FirstHand, Handshake, LinkedIn Learning, Symplicity, and Vault. Bring your own licenses for instant access. - Built-In Targeting
uConnect employs custom content types and taxonomies tailored for career services to organize and display all this content in unique ways and enable complex tagging and targeting. This means that your team can auto populate content within identity/affinity pages to curate content for students based on their interests, backgrounds, academic pursuits, and more. Doing this manually would otherwise be a full-time job.
Automation Everywhere
- Newsletters
Build, schedule, and send automated newsletter email alerts right in the product. Prioritize which content is sent to each cross-section of your audience. Get incredibly high open rates automatically with tested, effective layouts and calls-to-action. - Landing Pages
Drive engagement through our custom Communities feature, which leverages our custom content types and taxonomies to act as automated, targeted landing pages for cross-sections of your student body, providing them with the sense of a personalized, curated user experience. - Analytics
By integrating student information systems (SIS), you can pre-generate student accounts that are easy to claim and log into, powering deeper insights with uConnect’s predefined analytic dimension and events to create better engagement data.
Forever Optimized
- Proprietary Enhancements
uConnect obtains hundreds of improvements to standard CMS functionality that no single institution can absorb the cost of alone. Improved accessibility, security, search, and SEO; an enhanced staff experience with greater functionality, simplified administration and custom feature onboarding; auto-expiring content; simplified theming; instant brand guideline alignment–the list keeps growing. - Instant Best Practices
uConnect bakes in best practices for career services. No setup costs, development delays, bug reports, or project management. Replicating half of uConnect’s product would be measured in years, not months. - Obsolescence Insurance
Building it is only the beginning. uConnect includes more than 70 custom and third-party plugins continually tested for 2-3 new WordPress releases a year. We monitor the entire software dependency chain for security and maintenance updates. Our end-to-end tests and ongoing audits are already done on your behalf.
