Higher education

Support every alum and student in their next career move

Claim your institution’s page with a work email at your domain, and a free workspace is created for you: your own page, your services, up to 50 active members and basic counts.

Career services, alumni relations, development, executive education and administration.

What your administrator sees

This is the free workspace as an administrator opens it. Riverside College is invented.

A college admin overview showing active members out of 50, staff, the services the college lists for its members, and basic counts with small groups held back.

Admin overview Sample data

It shows the limit, the staff and the services you list, so an administrator sees what the workspace holds before anything else. Small groups are held back so no one can be picked out. The people and numbers are invented.

More of the workspace

The alumni relations workspace showing member counts, layoff alerts near alumni and jobs posted for alumni.

Alumni relations Sample data

Layoff alerts are matched to where your alumni live, so you can reach out early, and alumni jobs are shown to your alumni. The people and numbers are invented.

A career services caseload listing each person with class year, status, last contact and the next step.

Career services caseload Sample data

People who need a conversation are listed at the top, with the next step beside each name, so the hour goes to them. The people and numbers are invented.

How it works

  1. Claim your page

    A staff member opens the institution’s page, enters a work email at the institution’s domain and confirms the one-time link we send.

  2. Set up the workspace

    When the email matches your domain, the workspace is created with the person who claimed it as administrator. List the services you offer so members see them.

  3. Invite your members

    Invite alumni and students, up to 50 active members on the free workspace. Counts show who joined and how active they are, with small groups held back.

How to claim your page

Your institution’s page is at https://launchyournextchapter.com/prepared/ followed by its name in lowercase with hyphens between the words, for example https://launchyournextchapter.com/prepared/riverside-college. Open it and fill in your name, title and work email.

Use a work email at your institution’s domain. Personal email addresses are not accepted. When we do not yet know your institution’s domain, our team follows up on the claim.

If the address does not open, or your institution’s name has punctuation in it, use the form at the bottom of this page and we will follow up.
