LinkedIn is a social media platform designed for working professionals and students to build connections and look for new job and internship opportunities. LinkedIn also developed an alumni tool, a dedicated alma mater page for alumni where they can find their peers, teachers, and friends with restricted search filters.
While LinkedIn can be leveraged to connect with alumni, it is not programmed from the institution’s perspective. This tool lacks the ability and misses out on the essential features that help institutions with full-fledged alumni management solution capabilities and doesn’t promote wholesome alumni engagement.
Vaave’s alumni management platform provides extensive search and filtering capabilities far superior to LinkedIn’s tool and offers some of the important features integral for your institution’s alumni networking and management.
Here’s How Vaave’s Alumni Management Platform Helps Your Institution With Effective Alumni Networking
1. Vaave’s Solution
Vaave’s alumni management solution helps Institutions do the following things effortlessly with our innovative and comprehensive alumni management solution:
- Easy & Efficient Database Management
- Easy Community & Member Management
- Meaningful Alumni Engagement
2. Trust Factor
We believe a private, exclusive alumni platform that resonates with your institution’s values and objectives will encourage alumni to sign up easily. On the LinkedIn alumni tool, your institution’s page is just one among many other pages, making yours redundant. With easy sign-up workflows, it will be easy for your alumni to register on the portal.
Here are some of the features that emphasize that we prioritize your alumni portal’s identity, safety, and security:
- An alumni platform on the institution’s subdomain.
- Fully configured and customizable homepage designs.
- Members registering will be prior-approved by the admin.
- Alumni can also be verified by their trusted peers/batchmates.
- Secure Network and privacy by design.
3. Career Support Initiatives
Vaave’s Career Support Initiatives gives the unique advantage of providing lifelong career support to alumni by the alma mater. We are entirely focused on creating value add-ons for all the stakeholders of the alumni community, which makes them come back and stay connected.
Below listed are some benefits that can be tailored according to your institution in incentivizing alumni to always stay in touch with their alma mater:
- Executive Hiring Program: A high-impact initiative that connects senior alumni with exclusive leadership roles through leading recruiters.
- Entrepreneur Support Program: Supports alumni founders by linking them with investors, mentors, and strategic partners to scale their ventures.
- Exclusively sourced High Quality Jobs for Alumni to accelerate their career growth
- Career and Networking Sessions to keep alumni informed and updated on the latest trends and technologies.
