How 1 Platform 5x'd Devslopes Engagement

The Challenge

When Beanie Brady joined Devslopes, a web academy, as their new Director of Career Services and Partnerships, she needed to implement a career services system that wouldn't hold their career coaches back, allowed them to support their current 240 active jobseekers, and increase jobseeker activation and engagement. She faced a common challenge not to create a fragmented process and tool stack like she had previously experienced at other bootcamps.

The existing infrastructure had several critical issues:

No existing career services infrastructure • built to scale

Operational inefficiencies and high cognitive load for career coaches

Valuable coaching time lost to administrative tasks

The Solution

Recognizing these challenges, Brady implemented Prentus as a comprehensive solution to create a single source of truth for all career services activities. Their implementation strategy included:

Graduated Access System:

Students start with basic networking features
Full job seeker access granted at 2/3 through curriculum
Natural progression to drive engagement

Accountability Measures:

Weekly coding challenges required to maintain job seeker status
Daily group coaching calls to introduce Prentus features
Integration of platform into core learning experience

The Impact

The results have been transformative for Devslops by consolidating all career services to one platform, decreasing administrative task time and increase student engagement.
