Previously accessible only through colleges and universities, iHire’s suite of online courses and masterclasses provides students, job seekers, and anyone looking to advance their career with expert advice on resume writing, networking, salary negotiation, and more.
Courses contain written content, videos, worksheets, templates, and podcasts carefully created and curated by iHire’s career experts. The Student Game Plan (SGP) and Sports Career Game Plan (SCGP) courses – used in the curriculum of over 100 colleges and universities, including Ohio State, University of Florida, Texas A&M, and the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) – prepare students to enter the job market, while iHire’s Masterclasses are geared toward any career-minded job seeker.
“To find work in this competitive job market, candidates must go the extra mile to stand out from the crowd,” said Brian Clapp, iHire’s VP of Marketing and one of the creators behind its courses. “However, many job seekers, especially students, are unfamiliar with the skills needed to land the right job, such as writing a resume and negotiating salary. For that reason, we are excited to offer these courses to the general public as we continue to upskill great talent and build the workforce of tomorrow.”
