Whomi, an online career platform, has launched a university partnership program to give students access to customizable career resources. The platform provides tailored user experiences and branding tools, as well as prompts that help users plan their careers. This initiative aims to help students make informed decisions and take control of their professional paths.
The self-guided platform, Whomi, is akin to TurboTax for career development. It features a series of simple questions to help professionals clarify their goals.
Whomi offers free sign-ups with an email. Additional features and upgrades are available for purchase, though not necessary. Similar to LinkedIn, it monetizes by offering optional paid services.
The platform guides users in exploring career options, creating resumes tailored for desired roles rather than noting personal history.
In July, Whomi was named “Career Development Solution of the Year” by EdTech Breakthrough for its ability to help alumni explore and pursue multiple career paths while maintaining connections with universities and their alumni networks.
Last month, Whomi announced a partnership program with two options: free and premium. For $1,999 annually, universities can customize their landing page on Whomi, link to alumni portals, and promote events.
University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, Mays School of Business at Texas A&M University, College of the Holy Cross, and Quantic School of Business and Technology has partnered with Whomi. The platform also offers a free tier that provides self-guided training.
The platform’s founder and CEO, John Gordon seeks to aid MBA programs, whose graduates often possess a diverse range of career ambitions. “Our goal is to help them out,” he said.
Whomi encourages users to hone their networking skills through its latest program, which aims to help them secure jobs not posted publicly. “We fully believe that, especially as you get more senior, jobs come from a network and a lot of people that we’re helping are finding jobs that aren’t even posted yet by learning how to engage their network,” said Gordon.
