(BOSTON, MA) January 23, 2012 - ConnectEDU (the web-based leader in connecting learners to possibilities) and Experience (the
largest university-endorsed career network bridging the gap between college and the working world) have merged to provide
21st-century learners the ultimate destination for college and career planning. For the first time, learners can map their
education decisions to potential careers, versus blindly selecting a college major or course plan and assuming career prospects
will exist upon graduation. With the integration of the Experience network, ConnectEDU’s products and services now form a
database of a generation’s college and career decisions tied to actual college and career outcomes. Using predictive modeling
and actionable intelligence, this information can be used to optimize investments in education plans, workforce development,
and inevitably build a more stable financial future for all college graduates.
