What is StevensConnects, the software recently launched by Stevens? According to an email sent out by the service’s new address, StevensConnects is a resource that allows Stevens students to interface with experienced alumni, join all kinds of groups, and learn about the different career paths a student can take. It is a reliable way for students to form all kinds of connections and make decisions on possible future career paths, in a manner very similar to websites like LinkedIn and the Handshake app. StevensConnects stands out from those, however, by allowing students to connect better with people that have experience studying at Stevens and know the ups and downs of navigating the workforce.
When students log in, they will be asked a series of questions that can help StevensConnects determine the right alumni and resources for each user. At the Home page, students are given the option to explore career paths, connect with people that are able to help with others, and watch videos from their community. At the Career section, students can look for jobs in a manner similar to Handshake and Linkedin, look for potential careers if they are undecided on what they want to pursue, or create projects in order to gain experience. The Connect section allows students to meet up with network professionals, as well as connect with groups that include students from previous years, and events a student can attend in person or online. The Resources section allows students to view experiences to gain knowledge on what to do when entering the workplace, and also provides some articles, videos, and a business directory to help students even more. Finally, the Inbox allows students to see their connections and messages.
If you are looking for another way to make connections and gain experience, go right ahead and start using StevensConnects!
