University & career center partnerships

Give Every Student Access to a Real Coach

Career centers are stretched thin. Students need more than a 30-minute advising slot. Realign delivers vetted 1:1 coaches and group programs that plug into your center — with outcome data your institution can use.

Built for career centers
  • 1:1 coach matching for students
  • Group coaching cohorts
  • Outcome data for reporting
  • 100% satisfaction guarantee
The challenge

Your advisors are expert — and overextended

The average university career center serves hundreds of students per advisor. That ratio makes deep, personalized coaching structurally impossible — no matter how talented your team is.

Students who need guidance the most — career-changers, first-generation graduates, mid-program pivots — are the ones most likely to fall through the cracks. And when they don't land, that shows up in your placement data.

Realign doesn't replace your advisors. We extend their reach, handling the high-volume, high-touch coaching work so your team can focus on relationships and strategy.

Students want 1:1 guidance

Group workshops and self-serve portals have their place — but career pivots, salary negotiations, and interview prep require a real conversation with someone who's been there.

Placement rates drive rankings

Accreditors, donors, and prospective students all look at where your graduates land. Realign gives you a defensible, documented program that moves that number.

90%+ of students receive a first-round interview within 3 months
300K+ professionals coached — experience your students can tap into
<1% of coach applicants accepted — quality your institution can stand behind

Common questions

What career center leaders ask us

Practical answers to what program directors and deans typically want to know before moving forward.

How does Realign fit into an already-stretched career center?

We operate as an extension of your team, not an addition to your workload. After initial setup — typically one call and a short intake form — students self-serve from intake through scheduling. Your advisors receive structured reporting; they don't manage the day-to-day delivery.

Can we limit coaching to specific student populations (graduate students, seniors, etc.)?

Yes. We configure eligibility criteria during onboarding. You can restrict access by program, graduation year, enrollment status, or any other criteria your center requires.

What does the outcome data actually look like?

You receive a monthly report with: sessions delivered, student satisfaction scores, coach ratings, placement status updates (where students opt in to share), and a narrative summary you can lift directly into annual reports or accreditation documentation.

How are coaches selected for our students specifically?

Every coach in our network has cleared a rigorous vetting process (fewer than 1% of applicants are accepted). For university partnerships, we further curate a bench matched to your students' most common target industries and degree disciplines.

Is there a minimum student volume to launch a partnership?

We work with career centers of all sizes — from boutique graduate programs to large state universities. Reach out and we'll find a structure that makes sense for your enrollment and budget cycle.
