The Challenge
Scaling Through Restructuring
Fullstack Academy, a prominent coding bootcamp within the 2U network, faced a pivotal moment in early 2024. A major organizational restructuring demanded that their career services team do significantly more with less. The team needed to support up to 3,800 students with a reduced staff.
Their existing infrastructure was a patchwork of disconnected tools. Grad Leaders handled some tracking, spreadsheets covered the gaps, and communication happened across email, Slack, and phone calls. No single system provided a unified view of student progress.
Advisors spent hours each week toggling between platforms, manually compiling reports, and chasing down data that should have been available at a glance. The inefficiency was unsustainable given the new operational reality.
The Solution
One Platform to Replace Them All
Unified Platform
Prentus replaced Grad Leaders and every supplementary tool with a single system of record. Advisors gained a comprehensive view of every student's journey from enrollment through employment, all in one dashboard.
Centralized Resource Hub
Career resources, job postings, and learning materials lived in one accessible location. Students no longer had to hunt across multiple platforms to find the support they needed.
Real-Time Analytics
Comprehensive tracking and reporting gave leadership 100% data-driven decision making. Engagement metrics, outcome rates, and advisor workloads were all visible in real time, eliminating the need for manual report compilation.
Streamlined Communication
In-platform messaging replaced the web of emails, Slack messages, and phone calls. Every conversation was logged, searchable, and tied to the student's profile for full context at all times.
