The College Fair - Building a bridge between schools & students

Overview

Leveraging comprehensive information on nearly 4,000 schools, as well as EMSI’s labor market data, students are given powerful tools to match with best fit schools and careers. The College Fair is refactored using our proprietary student engagement platform as a set of building blocks. This allowed us to rapidly bring major renovations to the app to market. Concentrical developed an integrated chatbot, KAI, that provides quick answers and support as students move through the career and college discovery process. KAI would become a part of the Concentrical platform to be integrated into future products. On the backend, schools were able to customize their online presence. Using the Concentrical platform’s multi-channel communication capabilities, schools were able to engage with students who have shown interest in their programs.
