Career and Program Explorer
The Career and Program Explorer (CPE) allows students and prospects to search for careers and explore your program catalog through their career search directly from your school's website.
Once configured, institutions will have a web page dedicated to only displaying the CPE, a full-page application, so that prospects and students can get the information they need without leaving your site.
CPE highlights include:
- Provides prospects and students detailed information on the careers they want to pursue, including a salary breakdown by region, workforce demographics, and what courses and certificates will get them there.
- It embeds directly in your school's page so that prospects and students can get the information they need without leaving your site.
- It adds to your school's Search Engine Optimization (SEO) by keeping visitors on your site longer, increasing engagement, and offering more keyword content.
Students and prospects can immediately use the CPE to find out more information on their desired careers. But to suggest relevant courses and certificates, schools need to associate occupation groups to their program and catalog offerings.
