Every applicant asks if your program will get them a job. Prentus guides students from day one to hired and collects the placement evidence your accreditor and state board ask for.

What’s at stake
Students enroll for a job. Accreditors, state boards, and federal aid rules now ask you to prove they got one.
Career school students pick a program for the job at the end of it. The school that can show where its graduates work wins the decision on the campus tour and the admissions call.
Programs run for months, so there is little time to drift. When career prep starts in week one, students can see the job they are training for and keep showing up.
ACCSC requires schools to verify employment for each graduate counted as employed in field. ABHES, COE, NACCAS, and state boards review placement too, and Workforce Pell eligibility now depends on it.
Built for every career school
Health, trades, beauty, and business programs place graduates in different ways. Prentus fits each of them.
Medical assisting, nursing, phlebotomy, dental assisting, pharmacy tech
The placement problem
Graduates scatter across clinics, hospitals, and staffing agencies, and many stop answering email once their externship ends.
How Prentus helps
Voice mock interviews prepare students for clinical hiring managers. The job engine pulls matching health roles from across the web, and SMS surveys reach graduates on the phone they actually check.
HVAC, electrical, plumbing, welding, automotive
The placement problem
Most hires happen at small contractors and shops that never post on a job board, and plenty of technicians never build a LinkedIn profile.
How Prentus helps
Invite local employers to post roles, and share talent links so a contractor can review students without creating an account. Surveys and third-party sources confirm placements a LinkedIn scan would miss.
Cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, nail technology
The placement problem
Graduates go to salons, booth rentals, and their own chairs, so placement rarely shows up anywhere your team can look it up.
How Prentus helps
Customizable surveys ask graduates where they work, including booth rental and self-employment, and collect answers by email and SMS with no staff calling. Mock interviews get students ready for salon interviews.
IT certifications, coding bootcamps, accounting, business
The placement problem
Graduates compete with four-year candidates for the same entry-level roles, and your outcomes page is often the strongest ad you run.
How Prentus helps
The AI career advisor, resume and LinkedIn tools, and voice mock interviews sharpen every application. Fullstack Academy and ACI Learning already use Prentus.
From enrollment to employment
Students, advisors, and employers work in one platform, so every placement is already on record when you need it.
Students get an AI career advisor, resume and LinkedIn tools, and voice mock interviews the day they enroll. Short programs need every week.
Your own job board, plus a job engine that pulls matching roles from across the web, even from employers who never partnered with you.
A monthly LinkedIn scan, dozens of third-party sources, and email and SMS surveys feed one record per graduate. AI reviews it and your team confirms it.
Job search and employers
Career school employers are often local and small. Prentus brings their roles to students and gives your team a way to grow the employer network without asking anyone to sign up.
Placement evidence
Each graduate record shows where the placement came from and who confirmed it. When an accreditor samples your files or a state report comes due, your team pulls records instead of making calls.
Reporting and compliance
Prentus collects the evidence behind every number. These guides explain the rules it has to satisfy.
Programs of 150 to 599 clock hours and 8 to 15 weeks can now qualify for Pell. To stay eligible, at least 70% of students must complete within 150% of normal time, and at least 70% must be employed in the second quarter after they exit.

Common questions
Career school software is what a career school uses to prepare students for work and prove where they were hired. Prentus puts both in one career outcomes platform, with AI career advising, mock interviews, and job search for students and placement tracking and verification for staff.
Prentus gives you the evidence behind each placement you report, including where it came from and who on your team confirmed it. Your team still submits rates in each accreditor’s own format.
Read the ACCSC verification guidePrentus runs an automatic LinkedIn scan every month and checks dozens of third-party sources. AI reviews those sources and surfaces the outcomes it believes are legitimate, and your staff confirms each one. Customizable email and SMS surveys collect follow-up from graduates automatically.
Many trades and beauty graduates never build a LinkedIn profile, so the scan is only one input. Third-party sources check employment, and email and SMS surveys reach graduates on their phones with no staff hours spent calling.
Yes. Students get career tools in their first week, which matters when a program runs 8 to 15 weeks. Prentus keeps tracking placement after students exit, which is the measure Workforce Pell uses to keep a program eligible.
