Bridging the gap between talent and opportunity
When promising talent matches urgent demand filled, communities prosper. By leveraging CollegeAPP’s powerful intent data, Mainstay is able to target capable individuals seeking better jobs aligned to regional demand.
We also coach adult learners to persist in their studies, celebrate milestones along the way, and ensure they exit programs work-ready. From there, we can facilitate smooth transitions into employment, connecting graduates with partner organizations seeking qualified talent. This benefits companies, too, with Mainstay’s enterprise partners experiencing a 20% increase in recruiter efficiency.
Engaging untapped workers
By understanding workforce needs down to the zip code, Mainstay maps the credentials and competencies that matter most for jobs ranging from electric vehicle maintenance to robotics operation to healthcare techs.
This allows us to provide highly targeted outreach that addresses unique goals and barriers to success, while celebrating achievements to maintain motivation.
By engaging individuals to identify and overcome obstacles hindering their progress by proactively addressing real-life hurdles around childcare, transportation, and bias, we have the potential to recover $13 billion in lost tuition annually from individuals who have previously stopped out of their programs.
