One system. Seven connected layers.
Prentus is one operating system for career outcomes. Roll it out by college or program, in phases that match your budget and timeline. Every phase runs on the same student record from day one.
Seven layers. One student record.
Each layer is powerful alone, but the outcomes your funders care about come from the connected journey. Everything shares the same student context so nothing falls through the cracks.
Why institutions are going modular
The NACE career readiness framework covers eight competencies. Most platforms address two or three. One connected system covers all eight, without stitching together point tools.
No shelfware
One flat institutional fee for the system, not per-seat licenses for features nobody opens. No shelfware, no surprise line items.
Shared student context
Every layer reads from the same student profile. Resume updates, interview prep, job applications, and outcomes all stay connected.
Fast rollout
The system is production-ready. Add SSO, migrate data, train staff, and go live in 2-4 weeks instead of a semester-long implementation.
Phases with your budget
Start with one college or program and expand each fiscal year. Same system, same contract, sequenced rollout.
Works alongside Handshake
Prentus isn’t a job board replacement. Use Handshake for employer postings and Prentus for everything else: AI advising, resume tools, community, and outcomes.
Built for career services teams
Every layer feeds the Advisor Suite dashboard. One place to see student activity, pending reviews, upcoming appointments, and outcome data.

Frequently asked questions
What is a modular career services platform?
Point-tool vendors sell career features a la carte. Prentus takes a different approach: one career outcomes operating system, rolled out in phases. You can sequence the rollout by college, program, or capability, but every phase runs on the same system and the same student record, which is what makes the outcomes data defensible.
Can we phase the rollout?
Yes, and most institutions do. One caution from experience: a single point tool is a band-aid. The retention and placement gains that move funding numbers come from the connected journey, not one feature. We recommend phasing by college or program, with the full system in each phase.
How long does implementation take?
Most institutions are live within 2-4 weeks. There is no lengthy IT project. Prentus handles SSO integration, data migration from your current tools, and staff training.
Do the layers share data?
There is nothing to sync because it is one system. Every layer reads and writes the same student profile. When a student updates their resume in Job Search Tools, the AI Career Agent sees it. When they log an interview in the Job Tracker, Outcome Tracking picks it up automatically.
What if we already use Handshake or 12Twenty?
Prentus complements existing platforms. Many institutions use Handshake for job postings and Prentus for everything else: AI advising, resume building, mock interviews, community engagement, and outcome tracking.
