What if every skill a learner gained — in school, on the job, or in the military — could be verified, translated, and connected directly to career opportunities? That’s the promise of AstrumU’s Data Platform, created in 2017 to meet the demands of a rapidly changing labor market. By placing skills at the center, the platform helps fill in-demand positions while leveling the playing field for individuals from all backgrounds.
At its core, AstrumU uses AI to create Verified Skills Profiles from over 2 million student and alumni records. Integrated with HR systems, these profiles analyze competencies earned through education and experience, guiding tailored education recommendations, personalized career pathways, and more effective recruiting and workforce planning. The result: stronger talent pipelines, improved employee development, and higher retention.
For educational institutions, the platform provides a powerful data-driven edge. By tracking students from prospect to alumnus, colleges and universities gain insights that improve outcomes, boost retention, and measure alumni success. On average, partner institutions have seen visitor-to-lead conversions quadruple, with a 42% increase in engagement with application-related content and a 33% rise in enrollment inquiries. A nationwide pilot connected 5,308 prospective MBA students with personalized career outcomes at universities across the country.
AstrumU also reduces operational costs through automated transcript processing, saving institutions an estimated $45,000–$65,000 annually while delivering real-time results with more than 95% accuracy. Beyond higher education, the platform supports military veterans by translating service experience into civilian skills and providing targeted upskilling opportunities for a smoother transition to civilian careers.
With its innovative use of verified skills data, AstrumU is reshaping how education connects to employment — making career pathways clearer, talent pipelines stronger, and opportunities more accessible.
