What is GoPursue about?
Helping students increase their knowledge about the wide variety of careers that are available to them, thus helping them make smarter career decisions earlier in life. You get to give back to your community and empower future generations by sharing your career stories and lessons learned along the way
How does GoPursue work?
GoPursue is like LinkedIn, but designed for students to learn about the day-to-day of your career and what advice you have. You'll take 20 minutes to create a simple "career profile" to share your experiences and journey. Instantly, thousands of students can learn from your profile! If you want to volunteer on an ongoing basis, you can clear a basic background check and answer questions that students send via message.
What's the time commitment?
You get to choose! Creating a profile takes 15-30 minutes. That could be it! If you want to continuously support students, you can answer their questions for any amount of time you choose. Maybe that's 10 mins/week or 1 hour/month. It's up to you and your schedule.
Do I have to message with students?
No. Although students are clamoring to connect with professionals through messaging, students still learn a lot from your profile alone--especially your advice and job details. You can opt in and opt out of messaging as your availability changes.
