Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical career counselor to student ratio?

National averages show ratios of 1 career counselor per 1,500-2,500 students, meaning most students never receive individual attention. Prentus effectively provides every student with a personal AI career coach, regardless of staffing levels.

How can AI coaching serve students who never visit the career center?

Over 70% of students never visit the career center. Prentus AI Career Advisor is available 24/7 on any device, reaching students who prefer digital interaction, have schedule conflicts, or simply do not know what questions to ask.

Does AI coaching replace career counselors?

No. AI coaching handles routine questions, resume feedback, interview practice, and career exploration at scale. Human counselors then focus on complex situations, emotional support, employer relationships, and strategic advising that requires human judgment.

What types of coaching can AI handle?

AI effectively handles resume reviews, mock interviews, career exploration, job search strategy, cover letter writing, salary research, and answers to common career questions. These represent the majority of career services interactions by volume.

How do we maintain quality while scaling?

Prentus provides consistent, evidence-based coaching to every student, which actually improves quality compared to overworked counselors rushing through appointments. The AI does not have bad days, skip steps, or run out of time.
