Prior to JA CareerConnect, we were incredibly proud of the impact our programs had in equippingyoung people with the skills and knowledge to succeed, particularly inentrepreneurship and financial literacy. However, we recognized a crucial gapin supporting our talented graduates as they transitioned into the workforce. There were three main challenges:
‍
a.   Limited reach: We lacked anefficient and centralized platform to showcase our alumni's skills andqualifications to a wider range of potential employers. This limited theopportunities available to them.
‍
b.   Time-consuming searchprocess: Traditional job search methods were often cumbersome andinefficient for both our alumni and potential employers. It was difficult tofind the right fit, and the search process often took an unnecessarily longtime.
‍
c.    Difficulty identifying qualifiedcandidates: Matching alumni with suitable job opportunities based on theirspecific skillsets and experience was a complex process. This made itchallenging for employers to find the right talent quickly.

The platform hasbeen instrumental in overcoming these limitations in several ways:
‍

This ensuresthat they find the best possible fit for their open positions, while allowingalumni to showcase their qualifications to the most relevant employers.
